Water Off / Precautionary Boil Water Notice
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MANATEE COUNTY, FL (Thursday, October 24, 2024) – Manatee County Utilities Department will be issuing a Precautionary Boil Water Notice for our customers at 3006 Through 3270 on 14th St W and, 1120 33rd Ave W on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, after the water has been restored.
A Water Main Tie-in will be scheduled for Wednesday, October 30, 2024. The water will be shut off from 9:00 PM - 5:00 AM. Customers are advised that once service is restored, all water used for drinking or cooking should be boiled as a precaution. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
This precautionary notice will remain in effect until a bacteriological survey has shown the water to be safe, normally 24-48 hours. A Rescission Notice will be issued when lifted. If residents have any questions, they may call 941-792-8811 ext: 5268 or 5216 between 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
*Regulations require that two consecutive samples be collected for bacteriological quality following the water being shut off. To restore full service as soon as possible, the Department of Health allows rescission of the precautionary boil water notice if the first sample is bacteriologically acceptable, and the second sample meets certain general water quality standards. However, if the second sample is bacteriologically questionable or unacceptable, then this precautionary boil water notice will be reissued until two consecutive bacteriologically acceptable samples are demonstrated.
