OCALA, Fla. – Marion County utilities on Wednesday lifted a precautionary boil water notice that was in place for some residents due to an emergency repair to a water main.

Customers within the Bluefields, Delcrest, Fort King Forest, Hi Cliff and Sleepy Hollow communities were advised Monday to bring water intended for consumption to a rapid boil for at least one minute until the notice was lifted.

Bottled water could also be substituted for drinking, cooking and hygienic purposes while water used for laundry, bathing and/or showering did not need to be boiled, customers were told.

Utilities sought to perform water testing before advising customers that the notice was lifted, according to the county.
