\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Once the service main has been repaired, water samples will be taken to a Florida Department of Health-certified\u00a0laboratory. Provided that the FGUA receives clearance for two rounds of water sampling results the FGUA will attempt to rescind the Advisory by\u00a0Wednesday, July 8th<\/sup>, 2015.<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0 In the meantime, the FGUA advises that all water used for drinking or cooking be boiled. A rolling boil for a period of one minute is sufficient to ensure the water is free of possible bacteria or viruses.
