Boil Water Notice Lifted For Portion of Chemstrand Road And Area

May 7, 2024

UPDATE: THIS BOIL WATER NOTICE WAS LIFTED ON MAY 9.

For the fourt time in recent weeks, ECUA has issued a precautionary boil water notice for a portion of Chemstrand Road and the surrounding area due to damage to a six-inch water main by a contractor working in the area.

Precautionary Boil Water Notices are issued as a part of the standard protocol following any loss of water pressure, whether as a result of planned maintenance activities or unscheduled repairs.

Specifically, the boil water notice includes:

  • 8815 – 9254 Chemstrand Rd.
  • 301 E. 9-Mile Rd.
  • Holly Rd.
  • Etta Rd.
  • Greenbridge Rd.
  • 101~200 Camden Rd.
  • Beland Rd.
  • Kokomo Rd.
  • Bellington Rd.
  • Arcadia Rd.

Residents located in the specified boil water notice area are advised to boil water for one minute at a rolling boil or to use eight drops of regular unscented household bleach per gallon of water, for water to be used for drinking or cooking purposes. Two independent bacteriological samples have been initiated and the advisory will be lifted as soon as possible. This process routinely takes 48 hours, and the notice will be rescinded at that time.

ECUA crews have completed the repairs and flushed out the lines. Residents within the area and nearby are advised that there is a possibility of discolored water as a result of the utility work, and to flush their home’s plumbing by running their taps for a few minutes. If problems persist, customers are asked to contact ECUA Customer Service at (850) 476-0480 for assistance.

This story will be updated when the notice is lifted.

    This is an impressive display of incompetence. Are they going to be buying water bottles for the families they keep doing this to?
