LACOOCHEE - Cast your vote and get vaccinated at the same place today.

The Pasco County Health Department will provide flu shots at two voting sites. A team of public health nurses will give shots this morning at the Alice Hall Community Center, 38116 Fifth Ave. in Zephyrhills, and at the First Baptist Church, 21012 Bower Road in Lacoochee this afternoon.

The shots cost $25, payable by cash or check. With proof of Straight Medicare or Medicare PPO, people can get a free shot.

The Vote & Vaccinate program is sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Tampa Shuts Off Reclaimed Water

TAMPA - The city's entire reclaimed water system will be temporarily shut down beginning this morning through late Saturday afternoon, utility officials said Monday.

Reclaimed water will not be available to customers during this time. Officials said the shutdown is part of a routine maintenance program to improve the reclaimed water quality and prepare for systemwide flushing early next year.

The shutdown will not affect many households. Only a fraction of residential customers, about 3,100 out of 100,000, are connected to the city's reclaimed-water system.

For more information, call (813) 282-7827.

Water Main Repairs Affect Traffic

TAMPA - Drivers may want to avoid the area of Azeele Street and MacDill Avenue until Wednesday afternoon.

Tampa's water department has closed the intersection in South Tampa while workers fix a broken water main. The repairs should be completed by midday Wednesday, spokesman Elias Franco said.

Both directions of MacDill between Azeele Street and Kennedy Boulevard are open to local traffic only and can be reached only from Kennedy, Franco said.

Westbound Azeele also is open to local traffic only between Howard Avenue and Henderson Boulevard.
