St. Petersburg itself
Most calls start in the city of St. Petersburg. The City Water Resources Department runs the municipal water and sewer system, and the water is purchased through Tampa Bay Water. See the homepage for what counts as a plumbing emergency and how the first call works.
The city makes owners responsible for the private sewer lateral inside the property line, and it has offered a rebate program for lateral work. Pinellas County Utilities also lists private sewer lateral programs, so ask which utility serves your address before you start.
How coverage works
A dispatcher takes your address and the details of the problem, then connects you with a local contractor. Coverage depends on the contractor and the address, so the town pages are a guide and not a guarantee.
If you rent, tell the landlord or property manager first and mention who owns the unit when you call. For gas smells, leave the building and call 911 or the gas utility from outside before you call the plumbing line.
Common questions
Service area questions
Call and give the dispatcher your address. Coverage depends on the contractor, and the dispatcher can tell you whether someone covers it.
It varies by town. Gulfport buys water and wastewater service from St. Petersburg, Pinellas County Utilities supplies the barrier islands south of John's Pass, and other towns have their own arrangements. Your water bill shows who serves you.
Generally the utility looks after its main and the meter, and the owner looks after the pipe on the house side. Boundaries differ, so ask your utility before paying for a dig.
