The Charlotte County Utilities Department has declared a precautionary boil water notice for a portion of the Burnt Store service area due to a 10-inch water main repair. The affected customers will remain under a boil water notice until further notice.
Affected Customers: 3200 through 3280 South Shore Dr.; Time System below 20 psi: 5 Hrs. 30 Min.
Due to reduced system pressure from the shut-off of the water supply and as a precautionary measure, Charlotte County Utilities is requesting that all customers in the affected area listed above boil water intended for drinking or cooking at a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute. Customers should boil water until further notice. The department will notify all affected customers with a rescission notice as soon as the water quality is confirmed to be at safe consumption levels. As an alternative, bottled water could be used. We apologize for the inconvenience.
