TELL THE MAYOR THAT THE RIVER NEEDS FRESH WATER ! NOW !!

We need to keep the pressure on City Hall to make sure that the River actually gets the water it needs, so you can keep fishing, paddling, or just enjoying it's beauty. Especially now that the Riverwalk is becoming a reality!

Call (813) 274-8251, or email Mayor Pam Iorio to let her know that you think the river needs enough fresh water to recover, and that it's available from nearby Blue Sink at very low cost. Tell our Mayor that you want fresh water in your river!
