Hillsborough County, Fla. (Oct. 3, 2024) - The precautionary boil water notice that was issued by Hillsborough County Water Resources on Sept 30th in the HCWRD South Central potable water system that impacted customers in the Balm Riverview area, including Balm Grove subdivision and Wildgrass Apartments has been lifted for all customers.
The notices for the last two locations, Wildgrass Apartments and Balm Grove subdivision, were lifted today after additional testing showed the water meets quality standards.
Hillsborough County's Water Resources department had issued the precautionary boil water notice due to the distribution system pressure in the subdivision falling below the required regulatory level because of a water main break.

The Florida Department of Health recommends allowing the water to run for five minutes at each tap to flush the lines with fresh water. Remember to include misters, drinking fountains, ice makers (discard the first bin full), etc., when flushing the lines.
