Precautionary Boil Water Notice Issued for North Beach Service Area
The St. Johns County Utility Department has issued a Precautionary Boil Water Notice for approximately 1,500 customers in the North Beach Service Area following the completion of an emergency repair to the water system.
As a precaution, residents in the affected area should boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use. Bottled water may also be used as an alternative.
The Precautionary Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until laboratory testing confirms that the water meets all drinking water safety standards. This process typically takes a minimum of two days. Once testing is complete and the water is confirmed safe, a retraction notice will be issued.
Customers in the affected area were notified through the Alert St. Johns emergency notification system. Additional Alert St. Johns calls will be issued when the notice is lifted.
Residents may call the Boil Water Notice Hotline at (904) 209-2731 for updates or visit the Utility Department web page.
