| BOIL WATER NOTICES IN TWO SARASOTA AREAS |
|
WENGNews writes, "A SECOND WATER MAIN BREAK IN TWO DAYS FORCED SARASOTA COUNTY UTILITIES TO ISSUE ANOTHER BOIL WATER ADVISORY FOR RESIDENTS ON OCEAN BOULEVARD FROM GIVENS STREET TO GLEASON AVENUE YESTERDAY MORNING. THIS INCLUDES THE SIESTA TOWNHOUSE, SEA VILLAGE, AND WINDWARD PASSAGE CONDOMINUM COMPLEXES. THE BREAK OCCURRED IN THE SAME AREA AS ONE THAT OCCURRED ON MONDAY, AND SARASOTA COUNTY UTILITIES CREWS FIXED THE BREAK QUICKLY. ALSO, ANOTHER BREAK ON US 41 CAUSED A BOIL WATER NOTICE TO BE ISSUED FOR THE WEST SIDE OF 41 FROM WORTHINGTON TO FIELD. SEVERAL MEDICAL CENTERS AND RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA WERE AFFECTED, AND ALL WERE NOTIFIED BY AUTOMATED TELEPHONE CALLS. THE BREAK HAS BEEN REPAIRED, BUT DUE TO FLORIDA LAW, A BOIL WATER ADVISORY WAS ISSUED. IN BOTH CASES, IF YOU PLAN ON USING THE WATER FOR DRINKING, COOKING, WASHING UTENSILS, OR FOR FIRST AID, YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE YOU BRING IT TO A ROLLING BOIL FOR ONE MINUTE. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, BOILED WATER MAY BE USED INSTEAD. THE BOIL WATER NOTICES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEYS SHOW THAT THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK AGAIN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN CALL SARASOTA COUNTY UTILITIES AT 861-6790."
