A water safety testing error is prompting the City of Maitland Public Works Department to re-issue a precautionary boil-water notice for 14 utility customers along Shell Point East and Whitecaps Circle.
This notice will remain in effect until drinking water test results pass for the next two consecutive days, as per Florida Administrative Code. The city will notify residents when the precautionary boil water notice is lifted.
The city previously issued a boil-water notice to customers Nov. 5-7 while conducting water safety tests following an underground water main break on Shell Point East. A sampling error discovered during those tests resulted in the new boil-water alert on Monday, Dec. 9.
Neighbors are advised to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. Bottled water may be used as an alternative.
We apologize for the inconvenience. For questions, please contact the City of Maitland at (407) 616-5338.
