Swim Safely

Treasure Island
Reacting to Red Tide
Red Tide continues to bloom in Gulf waters. According to current beach conditions, Treasure Island is one of the most affected beaches with a high respiratory irritation level and tons of dead fish. While it is safe to swim in the water, according to the city, officials advise swimmers to avoid the dead fish due to harmful bacteria. Use caution if you are sensitive to respiratory illnesses or issues, or if walking or exercising near areas with high levels of red tide.
Keep the Sewers Clean
To prevent backed up pipes and clogged sewer systems Treasure Island reminds residents not to pour grease, cooking oils or fats down the drains or use the garbage disposal when dealing with these substances. To dispose of grease safely, without running up the plumbing bill for overflowing sewers and clogged pipes, cool off pans before scraping grease into the trash, or place the grease into a separate container for reuse.
