St. Cloud Utilities Maintenance Work August 10th - August 14th, 2020

St. Cloud Utilities crews will be out in the field, working hard to ensure that everyone is receiving the best water quality possible.  Our field crews will be flushing and performing maintenance on fire hydrants in the following areas:

·        Blackstone Neighborhood (continued from last week)

·        Twin Lakes Neighborhoods

To augment and complement the Ice Pigging, the City will be conducting another water line cleaning process, Line Swabbing, along the water mains feeding the water lines through out the City. Line Swabbing requires the water line to be taken out of service during the cleaning process, therefore customers will experience a water supply outage. Due to the water line temporarily being out of service and in accordance with state guidelines, the City of St. Cloud Environmental Utilities Department is required to issue a "Precautionary Boil Water Notice" immediately following the Line Swabbing. The City of St. Cloud advises that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. The "Precautionary Boil Water Notice" will remain in effect until a bacteriological survey is completed and we have received results confirming that the water is safe to drink in the areas that have been affected. This process normally requires approximately two days. A separate notification will be issued to the customer that are affected when the process has been completed.

Below is the current schedule for Line Swabbing:

(No Line Swabbing scheduled at this time.)

Effective Sunday April 8, 2018 - St. Cloud Utilities will be temporarily shutting down the reclaim water distribution on Sunday mornings at 11 a.m. to Monday nights at 10 p.m., when no watering is permitted by the City's irrigation schedule. This will help us conserve water and recharge the reservoir. This will remain in effect until the reservoir is recharged and consumption is consistently reduced. If you have any questions about the irrigation schedule, please contact our office at 407-957-7344. Additionally, the University of Florida Osceola County Extension's Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program is available to assist with water conservation and questions about your irrigation system. Their phone number is 321-697-3000.
