Conserving Water
 Hurricane season can disrupt water systems, making it essential to conserve water. Make sure to have a backup water supply to ensure you have adequate supplies for drinking and sanitization. This will prevent contamination and minimize putting a strain on infrastructure.
During the storm:
- Limit toilet flushing
- Avoid using dishwashers and washing machines
- Take shorter showers
- Turn off sprinkler systems
After the storm:
- Continue conservation after the storm due to potential strain on water and wastewater treatment plants.
- Follow boil water notices if issued and treat water when necessary.

Lake Belleview Neighborhood Update
 Mayor Bruce Rector, Vice Mayor Lina Teixeira, Councilmember David Allbritton, and city staff joined representatives from Tampa Bay Neighborhood Housing Services, Third Federal Savings & Loan, and NeighborWorks America for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating this milestone.

This is an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to expand access to affordable housing.
Clearwater invested $1.2 million in federal and state subsidy funds, administered through the city's Housing Division, to help bring this project to life. This initiative underscores the city’s commitment to strengthening neighborhoods through strategic partnerships and long-term investment in housing opportunities.
