Previous Report:
Pasco County Utilities announced Tuesday that water services have been fully restored after operational impacts to the water valving infrastructure caused extended outages and low pressure in several communities.
The affected areas included Grand Oaks Subdivision, Edgewater at Grand Oaks, Cobalt Apartment Homes, and Volanti Townhomes.
The outages occurred as crews worked on system improvements along Wesley Chapel Boulevard, disrupting water services throughout the day. According to the utility provider, all valves are now operational, and normal water flow has resumed.
However, a precautionary boil water notice has been issued for all impacted customers. Residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute before consumption, including drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. As an alternative, bottled water is recommended.
