FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued to a neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale while crews repair and install new valves on water mains in the area.
City officials said crews will be performing emergency repairs to a valve on a two-inch water main and will be installing a new valve on a six-inch water main in the area of 700 NW Ninth Ave.
The precautionary boil water notice will take effect at 5 a.m. Thursday, and officials said close to 80 properties will be affected.
Officials advise residents that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes must be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
