Maximo Moorings Air Quality Update

The City of St Petersburg Water Resources Group has acknowledged the current air quality issue within our neighborhood stemming from the water treatment plant across the street.

Please click here for a detailed explanation as well as FAQs.

Residents are encouraged to continue to use the See Click Fix app or the Issue Reporting Center on our website as a tool to communicate non-emergency issues to the City.

There are also several Maximo ‘Watch Areas’ set up in See Click Fix that Maximo residents can follow, if they would like to do so. https://seeclickfix.com/watchers/94192 or https://seeclickfix.com/watch_area/51275.

If you have questions regarding this communication, they can be funneled through Susan Russo who is our Public Relations Director on the Maximo Board (PR@maximo-moorings.com) and she will get the FAQs updated with the City’s responses.

Thank you,

Maximo Board
