Using SeeClickFix to address standing water issues

Small amounts of standing water can pose big problems this time of year as they can quickly become breeding grounds for mosquitoes.  It’s important for all St Pete and Pinellas County residents to make sure they are armed with information on how to deal with mosquitoes and eliminate stagnant, standing water whenever possible.

Pinellas County has mosquito control tips on their website, including a number to call, 727-464-7503, for more information:

Additionally, the Florida Department of Health hotline, 855-622-6735, may be contacted for Zika virus information, or refer to their website:

Residents may use the SeeClickFix St Pete app and website to report issues like clogged stormwater catch basins, flooding, discarded garbage that could hold water (like old tires), or code violations like un-maintained swimming pools. Thank you for your assistance with submitting these reports!

Sincerely,
Mayor’s Action Center
