Boil Water Notice Lifted in Summerton South, Marion County Ensures Water Safety Post-Main Project

Residents of Summerton South on SE 52nd Avenue can now enjoy clean, safe tap water again. As of Friday, Marion County Utilities has lifted the precautionary boil water notice that had been in effect since last Wednesday. The revocation comes after the successful conclusion of a water main improvement project, WME-084, that required the temporary measure for safety's sake, as per the county's official website.

Those living at 3820, 3825, 3860, and 3865 SE 52nd Ave were affected by the notice, which is standard procedure after operations that could potentially compromise the purity of our most essential resource. A bacteriological survey confirmed the water's safety, allowing normal use to resume. Citizens were made aware of the rescission through a statement published by Marion County, which specified that residents "is hereby rescinded following the satisfactory completion of the bacteriological survey showing that the water is safe to drink."

During the advisory, residents were instructed to boil water for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and washing dishes as a safety measure. With the completion of the water main project, residents can resume their regular routines.
