Boil Water Notice Lifted For Portion Of Chemstrand Road Area

December 8, 2021

UPDATE: This boil water notice has been lifted.

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has issued a precautionary boil water notice for an area along Chemstrand Road due to a broken 8-inch water main.

The boil water notice is in effect for Chemstrand Road from Boyette Street to Limerick Lane, along with Arnett Street and Chadson Lane.

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 This process routinely takes 48 hours and the notice will be rescinded at that time.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.
