Boil Water Notice Lifted For Bell Ridge Subdivision, Patrick Lane

December 6, 2021

UPDATE: This boil water notice has been lifted.

A broken valve on a 16-inch water main led to a low or no water pressure Sunday in the Nine Mile Road area near the Navy Federal Credit Union campus and led to a precautionary boil water notice for some residents.

The boil water notice is in effect for the Bell Ridge subdivision and homes along Patrick Lane, including Bell Ridge Drive, Forest Ridge Drive and Bell Ridge Trail.

Residents located in the specified boil water notice 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 This process routinely takes 48 hours and the notice will be rescinded at that time.

ECUA crews have completed the repairs and flushed out the lines. Residents within the 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.

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.
