The Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) has issued a Precautionary Boil Water Notice Advisory as of Thursday (October 22nd) at 4:30PM, to 543 Lehigh Acres Utility System customers due to a 10 inch service main break at Village Lakes Blvd. Customers residing along Williams Road to the Able Canal are affected and include the Town Lakes Community and Heron Pond Apartment Complex.
The service main has been repaired and water samples will be collected and taken to a Florida Department of Health-certified laboratory. Provided that the FGUA receives clearance for two rounds of water sampling results the FGUA will attempt to rescind the Advisory by Monday, October 26th, 2015.
The FGUA provides a Boil Water Notice Advisory under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requirements in the event that water pressure drops below 20 pounds per square inch in the service area. In the meantime, the FGUA advises that all water used for drinking or cooked be boiled. A rolling boil for a period of one minute is sufficient to ensure the water is free of possible bacteria or viruses. Alternatively, bottled water may be used.
For additional information or updates, FGUA customers may contact the FGUA Lehigh Acres Utility Systems Customer Service Office at (239) 368-1615, or visit the FGUA web site athttp://www.fgua.com/outages-and-notices
