The City of Tarpon Springs issued a precautionary boil water notice Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, for all city water customers south of the Anclote River after a contractor error caused a brief drop in water pressure.
The city said water pressure has been fully restored and the system is operating normally. The notice remains in effect while crews test the water.
Affected customers should bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one full minute before using it for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes or preparing food. Bottled water can be used for those activities. The city said tap water can still be used for showering and bathing as long as it isn’t swallowed.
The city expects to lift the notice within 48 to 72 hours. Customers should continue taking precautions until the city officially lifts the notice.
Customers with questions can call the Tarpon Springs Water Division at 727-937-2557 or the after-hours line at 727-234-4087. Customers can also sign up for city alerts.
