PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE (ONLY FOR THE BELOW NAMED STREETS)
PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE
(ONLY FOR THE BELOW NAMED STREETS)
TO: City of Avon Park Customers on the following streets:
- Whitney Street
- W Orange Street
- W Raymond Street
- W Sunshine Lane
- W Kathleen Street
Due to a six-inch water line break, at the corner of N. Lake Avenue and Raymond Street, we had to shut it down (for the needed repairs) and place the above-listed streets under a 72-hour boil water notice.
AS A PRECAUTION WE ADVISE THAT ALL WATER USED FOR DRINKING OR COOKING BE DISINFECTED.
UTILIZE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS:
- Boiling: Boil water vigorously for two (2) minutes after it reaches a full boil.
- Chlorine Bleach: Use only unscented liquid chlorine bleach (granular bleach is poisonous!). If water is clear, add 2 drops of bleach per quart of water (8 drops per gallon). If water is cloudy, add 4 drops per quart (16 drops per gallon). Mix well and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Purification Tablets: These are available at drug stores or camping outlets. Follow the directions on the package. Tablets become less effective with age, discard or replace after one year.
- Or use bottled water.
THE “PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE” WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY SHOWS THAT WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK.
