WENGNews writes, "RESIDENTS OF VENICE ISLAND ARE STILL BEING ADVISED TO BOIL THEIR WATER AFTER TWO WATER MAIN LINES BROKE FRIDAY MORNING. THE CITY SAYS IN ADDITION TO THE EIGHT AND TWELVE INCH WATER MAINS THAT BROKE, AND EIGHT INCH FORCE MAIN, A STORMWATER DRAIN, AND TWO SEPARATE POWER SOURCES ALSO FAILED JUST BEFORE NOON FRIDAY NEAR NOKOMIS AND TAMPA AVENUES. AS OF SATURDAY, THE REPAIRS STILL HAD NOT BEEN TOTALLY MADE, AND THE CITY ADVISED THAT WATER SHOULD BE BOILED THRU TODAY, WHEN THE NEXT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED. ALL WATER USED FOR DRINKING OR COOKING SHOULD BE BOILED FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, BOTTLED WATER MAY BE USED INSTEAD. ONCE THE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED, BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEYS WILL BE MADE, AND ONCE THEY SHOW THAT THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK AGAIN, THE BOIL WATER NOTICE WILL BE RECINDED. THE CITY OF VENICE IS ALSO ASKING ALL RESIDENTS TO CONSERVE DURING THIS EMERGENCY."
