Precautionary boil water notice rescinded for Babcock Ranch; watermain break cited

Braun, Michael

A precautionary boil water issued communitywide for Babcock Ranch Friday has been rescinded

All required regulatory testing has been completed and, effective immediately, it is no longer necessary to boil your drinking water.

The community's Town & Country Utility Department issues boil water notices in cases where pressure in any part of the water distribution system has been reduced to zero, or a negative pressure, unless the zero pressure is due to an isolated water main break and the public water system can demonstrate that the integrity of the water system has been maintained.

A watermain break lead to the alert with all homes and businesses in Babcock Ranch affected.
