Residents in parts of St. Petersburg, Florida, are facing water conservation measures as the city's sewer treatment plant has been taken offline to protect it from the effects of Hurricane Helene's unprecedented storm surge.
The city has issued a warning advising residents not to drain water, take showers, do laundry, or flush toilets to prevent sewage backup into homes or businesses. The Northeast Sewer Treatment Plant is the only facility expected to be impacted by the storm surge.
