Boil Water Notice Issued For Part Of Beulah After Water Main Break

November 21, 2019

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has issued a precautionary boil water notice (PBWN) for part of the Beulah area following a water main break Thursday morning.

The boil water notice is in effect for the area of Mobile Highway from Beulah Road east to Dooley Drive and for Dooley Drive.

Water service was interrupted to the area after a 12-inch water main break. Crew began repairs about 2 a.m. Thursday and worked for several hours to complete repairs.

A boil water novice is 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 eight 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.

Residents within the PBWN area and nearby 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.
