From Punta Gorda Utilties:

Due to the current dry conditions and high temperatures, our drinking water source is experiencing taste and odor issues.

These issues are aesthetic in nature only and do not pose a health risk to our customers. As such, there is no boil water notice in effect for this issue.

We want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the situation and are taking appropriate steps to address the issue, including increased flushing throughout the city.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time. If you have any questions, please call the City of Punta Gorda Utilities Department (941) 639-2057.
