Charlotte County Utilities Lowering Water Pressure in the Port Charlotte Service Area

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (Oct. 8, 2024) - Charlotte County Utilities will lower the water pressure in the Port Charlotte Service area starting at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 9. The pressure will remain lower until the storm passes.

Please limit water usage until further notice to reduce strain on our sewer system. Storm surge and heavy rainfall will inundate the sewer system, making it difficult for wastewater to flow properly.

For Hurricane Milton information, call the Charlotte County Emergency Operations Center at 941-833-4000.

Charlotte County urges residents to stay vigilant, monitor the storm's progress, review emergency plans, and ensure hurricane kits are ready. For more information, view the county's disaster guide at www.CharlotteCountyFL.gov/disasterguide.
