Pasco County Sandbagging Stations Available

Self-serve sandbag sites open 24 hours

In anticipation of heavy rain next week, Pasco County Government is reminding you that two sandbag stations are available to help protect property in low-lying areas from potential flooding.  Sand and sandbags are available at the following locations:

• Pasco County Public Works (C-Barn) 30908 Warder Road, San Antonio
• Magnolia Valley Golf Course 7223 Massachusetts Ave., New Port Richey

Both sandbag locations are self-serve and are open 24 hours to Pasco County residents. Sand and sandbags will be restocked between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.  Please bring a shovel, and be prepared to fill your own sandbags.
