HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A boil water notice will be issued out of an abundance of caution in Northwest Hillsborough County, officials said Wednesday morning.
Hillsborough County officials said the notice is due to a 24-inch water main break along Ehrlich Road near Summerwind Drive.
As of Friday morning, the county said most customers in northwest Hillsborough are no longer under the notice. It's still applicable to customers on Devonshire Woods Place and Evershine Street.
A map of the impacted area is below.
Officials offered the following guidelines for those impacted.
This notice means customers in impacted areas are advised, as a precautionary measure, to boil all tap water used for cooking, drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. A full rolling boil for 1 minute is sufficient; cool before using. Allow the water to run until it is clear before washing clothes. Discard any ice from automatic ice makers. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
Residents and businesses will be notified of the cancellation of the precautionary boil water notice once all required testing has been completed.
