HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A water main line was hit during a construction project in the Citrus Park area Tuesday afternoon, impacting water services for many residents and businesses in the area.
The county said a contractor was working on the Citrus Park Roadway Project when they “impacted” a water main line around 4:05 p.m. after a contractor damaged a 24-inch water main line while performing modifications to the existing distribution system.
The incident occurred just north of the Fawn Ridge Water Treatment Plant, 9564 Exposition Drive, Tampa, near Sheldon Road and Fawn Ridge Boulevard.
The boundary of the impacted area is west of Veterans Expressway to Ehrlich Road and west of Gunn Highway to Racetrack Road all the way to the Pinellas County line.
Water service has been restored; however, customers in the impacted area are advised to boil water as a precautionary measure until a rescission notice is issued.
