Cooper City residents can now safely sip from their faucets again. City officials have lifted a precautionary boil water notice that had all locals heating their H2O since Monday. The alert, which left residents uneasy about what was flowing from their taps, has been rescinded after testing revealed the water meets health and safety standards.

The city had to swiftly implement the notice earlier in the week, triggering a community-wide scramble to boil water for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth. But as announced on Thursday, extensive testing showed that the water is now clear, with officials declaring it to be safely up to par. According to a WSVN report, the samples tested met "all state regulatory requirements for safety" and the city advises that residents need not to take any further action like flushing their lines or swapping out water filters.

The city's Utilities Department expressed their gratitude for the patience of their customers and assured the community of their steadfast commitment to maintaining safe and pristine drinking water. In a statement on the city’s official website, they noted, "The City of Cooper City is committed to providing safe, clean drinking water to its residents and customers." They also extended an apology for any hassle this precaution may have caused. For lingering concerns, the Utilities Customer Service Department remains available, ready to fully assure residents of the water's quality. Their contact details are readily provided on the city's website.
