Easton Park Tap Water Cleared After Pressure-Loss Testing

The City of Tampa Water Department lifted the precautionary boil-water notice for Easton Park in New Tampa on October 8. Customers in the affected neighborhood can again use tap water normally for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning, and other household activities. The City originally issued the notice after a sudden loss of water pressure, a condition that requires precautionary safeguards until water quality can be confirmed. Water Department crews completed bacteriological testing, and the results cleared the system for normal use. The update replaces the earlier precautionary notice and confirms that residents no longer need to follow boil-water procedures tied to that pressure-loss event.

City workers said they would visit homes in the affected area to deliver notices confirming that the advisory had been lifted. The testing step is the key distinction for residents: the Water Department did not end the notice solely because pressure returned, but after bacteriological results confirmed the water was safe. Customers with remaining questions can review the City’s boil-water information or contact the Tampa Utilities Call Center at 813-274-8811 during regular business hours. For Easton Park households, the practical message is straightforward—the temporary restriction is over, normal tap-water use has resumed, and the City has completed the required testing and resident notification process.
