A major water main break at the intersection of San Roberto Circle and McGregor Boulevard in Fort Myers that affected 312 addresses in that area has been repaired.
A boil water alert was also issued for that area.
An outside contractor hit a 6” water line at about 3 p.m. Thursday. City officials said the leak was small, but the isolation process required impacted several neighborhoods in the vicinity of the break.
Repair were completed, and water service restored at around 10 Thursday night. City testing of the water will continue and will notify the community when the notice is rescinded.
As a precautionary measure, the city advised boiling of water consumed for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes.
A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
