| BOIL WATER NOTICES IN GROVE CITY, SIESTA KEY |
|
WENGNews writes, "A WATER MAIN BROKE ON SIESTA KEY YESTERDAY, WHICH HAS RESIDENTS ALONG OCEAN BOULEVARD BOILING THEIR WATER. SARASOTA COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY A CONTRACTOR BROKE THE LINE, CAUSING SERVICES TO BE INTERUPTED FROM GIVENS STREET TO GLEASON AVENUE ON OCEAN BOULEVARD. THE COUNTY USED AUTOMATED TELEPHONE CALLS TO NOTIFY RESIDENTS OF THE BOIL WATER ADVISORY, AND WHILE THEY HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE DRINKING WATER WAS CONTAMINATED, FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES THE NOTICE. ALSO, RESIDENTS IN THE GROVE CITY AREA WILL BE BOILING THEIR WATER AS WELL TOMORROW, AS THE ENGLEWOOD WATER DISTRICT WILL SHUT DOWN SERVICE AT AROUND 9AM. SERVICE ON MICHIGAN AVENUE FROM 10TH STREET TO PLACIDA ROAD, AND ON 12TH STREET FROM GEORGIA TO ARKANSAS AVENUES WILL BE SHUT DOWN, AND SURROUNDING AREAS MAY EXPERIENCE LOW WATER PRESSURE. THE REASON FOR THE SHUT DOWN IS TO ALLOW TIE-IN OF VALVES DURING THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE PROCESS. AS A PRECAUTION, BOTH DISTRICTS ADVISE THAT ALL WATER USED FOR DRINKING OR COOKING BE BOILED. A ROLLING BOIL OF ONE MINUTE IS SUFFICIENT, AND AS AN ALTERNATIVE, BOTTLED WATER MAY BE USED. IN BOTH CASES, THE PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL WORK IS COMPLETE AND A BACTERIALOGICAL SURVEY SHOWS THAT THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK. "
