Boil Water Notice: Portion of Kingsfield Road And Area

March 3, 2017

THIS BOIL WATER NOTICE WAS LIFTED Sunday, March 5, 2017.

Effective immediately, a Precautionary Boil Water Notice -PBWN- has been issued by the ECUA to customers located within the following area due to loss of water pressure from a broken 8-inch water main.

The area includes:

  • Kingsfield Rd., from Riddle Rd. to Portebella Place
  • Ryale Drive, north of Kingsfield
  • Cricket Ridge Dr.
  • Cricket Cir.
  • Riddle Rd.
  • Summer Shade Lane
  • Portebella Place

Precautionary Boil Water Notices are issued as a part of the standard protocol following any loss of water pressure, whether as a result of planned maintenance activities or unscheduled repairs.

Residents located in the specified PBWN area are advised to boil water for one minute at a rolling boil or to use 8 drops of regular unscented household bleach per gallon of water, for water to be used for drinking or cooking purposes.  Two independent bacteriological samples have been initiated and the advisory will be lifted as soon as possible. This process routinely takes 48 hours.

ECUA crews isolated the broken main section by inserting valves on either side of the break in order to restore service as quickly as possible, and have flushed out the lines.  Residents are advised that there is a possibility of discolored water as a result of the utility work, and to flush their home’s plumbing by running their taps for a few minutes.  If problems persist, customers are asked to contact ECUA Customer Service at 850-476-0480 for assistance.  Precautionary boil water notice guidelines are available on the ECUA website at www.ecua.fl.gov/water-quality/boil-water-notices-and-why-we-issue-them.
