A precautionary boil water advisory has been rescinded for the entire island area of Fort Myers Beach.

A Code Red message from the town announced the advisory Monday afternoon.

A recension notice was issued Wednesday when officials said the chlorine residual was within state compliance and the town's water was now safe to drink.
