PASCO COUNTY, FL — With possible heavy rainfall forecast as Tropical Storm Sally passes Florida's coast, Pasco County is reminding residents that self-serve sandbag stations are available to help residents protect property 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
  • Pasco Fire Rescue Station 17: 2951 Seven Springs Blvd., New Port Richey

Sandbag locations are self-serve and are open 24 hours to Pasco County residents; however, sand will only be restocked between the hours of 8 a.m.and 5 p.m. Residents should bring a shovel and be prepared to fill their own sandbags.

The most effective placement for sandbags includes entry and exit points of the home.
