MIAMI (WSVN) - A water advisory originally issued June 20 for parts of Biscayne Bay has now been lifted, based on water quality results.
The advisory included the Biscayne Canal into the Intracoastal between the Broad Causeway and 79th Street Causeway.
The precautionary advisory was the result of an air release valve that broke off a 63-inch sewer line at 840 NW 155 Lane.
Due to high bacteria levels, officials had urged residents to avoid all recreational water activities.
The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County and the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, Division of Environmental Resources Management have tested the affected waters and received satisfactory results.
No further testing or monitoring is necessary.
