Zephyrhills asks residents to limit flushing, use of drinking water

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — City of Zephyrhills officials say their sewer systems are currently under “extreme strain and cannot keep up” in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

As a result, they are asking residents to refrain from flushing toilets, which is “causing the biggest problem.”

They are also asking people to “limit potable (drinking water) use to help alleviate the pressure on the system.”
