Boil water notice issued for Port LaBelle

Posted

 LaBelle -- Please be advised all Port LaBelle Utility System customers have been placed on a “Precautionary Boil Water Notice”.  This does not mean the water is contaminated.   There was a major water line crack in the Port LaBelle service area leaving low to no water pressure within the system.  When there is little to no water pressure there may be a possibility of backflow into the water system.  It is recommended the water you use for consumption be boiled for 1 minute. 

The Utility will collect bacteriological samples to be analyzed.  As soon as satisfactory results are received, the precautionary boil water notice will be discontinued.  The anticipated time frame of the notice is 4 days.
