Due to a break of a 16-inch water pipe on Monday, Dec. 13, a precautionary boil water advisory is now in effect citywide for a minimum of 48 hours or until the bacteriological results come back satisfactory.
The break caused a temporary drop in the water pressure; however, the city’s water system is back to normal pressure. All water used for consumption – drinking and cooking water, making ice, brushing teeth, etc. – should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute. This boil water advisory does not pertain to other water uses.
For more information about steps to take during a boil water advisory, visit this CDC webpage. Residents with questions can call the Utilities Department at (386) 671-8815.
