Boil water notice due to Winter Park water main break

Residents getting water from Winter Park's water utility will need to boil their water for the next 48 hours, according to a brief sent out by the utility administration's deputy assistant director, Craig Campbell on Wednesday.

The area affected (in blue on map pictured), may have been compromised due to a water main break near the intersection of Forest City Road and Edgewater Drive.

As a precaution, the city advises that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is considered sufficient to keep the water safe. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.

This “Precautionary Boil Water Notice” will remain in effect for approximately 48 hours, until the water main work is completed and bacteriological surveys show that the water is safe to drink, according to the City. Customers will receive a rescission notice upon successful completion of water sampling.

The City of Winter Park Water & Wastewater Utilities Department recommends calling 407-599-3219 with any questions.
