County beach nourishment project completed

In record time, Pinellas County’s beach nourishment project has been completed. Local leaders and elected officials came together Monday to mark the occasion at Treasure Island. 

Approved in June 2025 by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, the $125.7 million initiative began with dredging sand from Egmont Shoal, Pass-a-Grille, Blind Pass and John’s Pass.

Water usage transparency: City eyes advanced meter infrastructure

St. Pete residents’ water bills increased 6.25% – and 7.75% for wastewater – after City Council voted last September to raise the rates. Under the St. Pete Agile and Resistance (SPAR) program, that difference has been funding upgrades to aged and vulnerable water treatment facilities.

Those vulnerabilities were underscored last year when 1.5 million gallons of untreated wastewater flooded the streets after Hurricane Helene.
