Residents on the East side of 68th Way can now pour themselves a glass of water straight from the tap without any worry. The City of Hollywood announced that the recent boil water advisory has been officially lifted for those living between Johnson St. and Fillmore St. This notice came into effect early this morning as confirmed by the City of Hollywood official website, reassuring the community that extensive testing has deemed the water safe for consumption.

The boil water advisory was a precautionary response to a concern over potential contamination, however, after careful analysis, it has been determined that the water meets all safety standards, so boiling water is no longer a necessary step before use the city did not specify what initially triggered the advisory. During the advisory, residents were instructed to boil their water to kill any bacteria or viruses that potentially presented a health risk, but these precautionary measures are no longer needed.

While the details surrounding the cause of this boil water advisory were not made explicit, the timely resolution serves as a relief for many. According to another source, a post on X account by the City of Hollywood echoed the good news, announcing, "The boil water advisory has been lifted for water customers on the East side of 68th Way between Johnson St. and Fillmore St." With this concern put to rest, residents can refocus on their daily routines unaffected by the complexities of water purification.
