ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The City of St. Petersburg is responding to a major water main break.

As a result, the city shut off potable (drinking) water citywide beginning early Thursday.

City officials say repairs will begin once it is safe for crews to be outside. Affected areas may already be experiencing low water pressure or service interruptions.
