St. Petersburg Floods Get Major Upgrade | Tampa News

St. Petersburg just got over $2 million in federal funds to tackle chronic flooding on MLK Junior Street South and Fourth Street North near 88th Ave N—areas that turn into lakes during rainstorms. The city will install bigger pipes and more grates to speed up drainage, avoiding utility rate hikes. This project is part of a $10M upgrade, and while it’s a step toward resilience against worsening weather, it’s just one piece of a 24-year citywide plan to keep roads open and safe for everyone, especially during hurricanes.

Polk County Water Fees Rise for New Users | Tampa News

Heavy users (20K+ gallons/month) could face 80% bill spikes, with more increases planned through 2030. The county’s balancing act between expansion, conservation, and fairness is far from settled.
