Charlotte County Utilities Urges Customers to Limit Water Usage

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (Oct. 10, 2024) - The Charlotte County Utilities Department urges customers to limit water usage. Numerous wastewater lift stations within the county are without power.

Low pressure sewer customers must also limit water usage during the power outage. In a power outage, low pressure sewer pumps will not function. The home's wastewater will remain onsite within the interceptor tank and cannot enter the central sewer system. The onsite tank has a reserve capacity for limited water use during the outage.

Currently, there are no boil water notices in effect. Our water systems are operational.

Please contact the Utilities Department at 941-764-4300 if you are experiencing a sewer back-up. We are working to address them as soon as possible.

For recovery information, call the Charlotte County Emergency Operations Center at 941-833-4000 or visit www.CharlotteCountyFL.gov/storm.
