The City of Tampa publishes a variety of electronic newsletters, media releases, event notifications, and other items that can be subscribed to for free.
Recent hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, and winter storms have emphasized the need for us all to be prepared for disasters in the Tampa Bay region. The frequency and intensity of these disasters are increasing. In 1998 alone, Hurricanes Georges and Mitch were responsible for the death of over 7,000 people in Central America and destroyed billions of dollars worth of property in Central America and Florida. The Public Works Department has prepared this guide to help you prepare for disasters.
The city is continuing to invest in neighborhoods through an important pipeline improvement program, collectively known as the Utility Capital Improvement Projects (UCAP). The program started in early 2008 and includes major improvements to the city’s existing drinking water and wastewater pipelines, as well as the construction of a new water pipeline that will deliver drinking water to points throughout the city.
