The City of St. Petersburg has introduced a new tool to help residents quickly find resources and complete tasks. This tool aims to make life easier for the community by providing easy access to information and services.
In an effort to support local social service agencies and help families in need, the city is encouraging residents to make automatic donations through their utility bills. By rounding up their bills to the nearest dollar, residents can make a difference in the lives of their neighbors. According to the city’s website, “This Valentine’s month and beyond, show some love to your neighbors in need by making easy, automatic donations through your utility bill.”
Residents can also make one-time or recurring donations of any amount by signing up on the city’s website. The donations will be distributed through a network of local social service agencies.
Mayor Welch’s City Hall On Tour will be returning in 2024, providing an opportunity for residents to meet and greet the mayor and members of his City Leadership team. The tour will have multiple stops throughout St. Petersburg, allowing residents to share their thoughts and ask questions. Event details and tour stop dates can be found on the city’s website.
The annual St. Pete Grand Prix is another event that residents should mark on their calendars. Held in downtown St. Petersburg, this motorsports festival marks the kickoff of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. The Grand Prix offers a thrilling celebration of speed and skill, and the vibrant atmosphere is suitable for the whole family. More information about the event can be found on the Grand Prix’s official website.
For those interested in sustainability and reducing waste, St. Pete’s popular Composting Workshop is offering new dates through 2025. Composting is a simple way to make a huge impact on the environment, and participants will leave the workshop with their very own compost bin. To learn more about the workshop and its schedule, visit the city’s website.
Due to current drought conditions, the City of St. Petersburg is implementing reduced watering days as part of the modified Phase I Water Shortage Order issued by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Residents are urged to follow the temporary watering schedule to conserve water. To find their designated watering day and learn more about water restrictions, residents can visit the city’s website.
The city is also offering free water conservation workshops to help residents learn about sprinkler systems, landscape planting, and other water-saving techniques. By participating in these workshops, residents can join their community in helping the environment. More information and registration details can be found on the city’s website.
In addition to these initiatives, the city reminds residents of the convenience of utility bill autopay. Residents have three easy options to enroll: they can do it online through their utility account, submit a form found on the city’s website, or visit the One 4th St. N. location during business hours.
For those who prefer two wheels over four, an updated version of the St. Pete Bike Map is now available online. The map provides information on local biking trails, bike-friendly routes, and safe biking tips. Residents can access the map on the city’s website.
The City of St. Petersburg is dedicated to making residents’ lives easier and more convenient. Through these initiatives and tools, the city aims to provide resources and support to the community. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities and stay informed about the latest news and updates from the city.
