Hillsborough County, Fla. (Nov. 25, 2024) - The precautionary boil water notice that was issued by Hillsborough County Water Resources on Friday, Nov. 22, in the Hillsborough County Water Resources Department (HCWRD) Northwest drinking water system that impacted customers near the intersection of West Hillsborough Avenue and West Longboat Boulevard has been lifted for all customers.
The notice was lifted today after 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.
