Boil Water Notice Continues for Southern Tarpon Springs Residents South of Anclote River

Boil water notice continues for southern Tarpon Springs residents

A precautionary boil water notice remains in effect for City of Tarpon Springs water customers located south of the Anclote River. The notice, initially issued on September 4, 2026, continues to advise residents in the affected area to take precautions with their water supply.

This ongoing advisory impacts all city water customers residing in the southern portion of Tarpon Springs. The city issued the notice to safeguard public health following an unspecified event that could compromise water quality. Residents should continue to follow the guidelines until the city issues an official all-clear.

Understanding a precautionary boil water notice

A precautionary boil water notice means that residents should boil all water intended for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. Bringing water to a rolling boil for at least one minute effectively kills most harmful bacteria and other organisms. Alternatively, residents can use bottled water for these purposes.

Safety measures and next steps

Residents under the notice should continue to boil water or use bottled water for all potable needs. The city will conduct testing to ensure the water supply meets all safety standards. Officials will lift the notice once tests confirm the water is safe for consumption without boiling. The city will notify affected residents directly when the notice is rescinded.
