Despite the restoration, a precautionary boil water notice has been issued in accordance with guidelines from the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County, according to the release.
“Residents and commercial customers in the impacted area are advised to boil all tap water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes as a precautionary measure. A one-minute rolling boil is sufficient; please cool the water before using. Alternatively, bottled water may be used. For laundry, allow the water to run until clear before washing clothes. Any ice produced by automatic icemakers should be discarded,” the release read in part.
Officials said the precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until a bacteriological survey confirms the water is safe to drink.
