A water main relocation project has prompted the issuance of a Precautionary Boil Water Notice for select addresses on NW 25th St and NW 24th Ct, scheduled to take effect next Tuesday. As per the official release from the City of Delray Beach, residents at the affected locations will need to boil their water before consumption or opt for bottled water as a safer alternative.
Specifically, the properties at 1, 2, 9, 10, 17, 18, 24, and 25 on NW 25th St, along with 2 NW 24th Ct, are advised to take these precautions due to an interruption in service that will be incurred while repair work is underway. Issued at 11:51 a.m. today, the notice details that this measure is to ensure residents' health and safety, where water requires a rolling boil for at least one minute to eliminate potential contaminants, the City of Delray Beach's posting says.
The city reassures the public that the Precautionary Boil Water Notice is a standard procedure in cases where water lines are disturbed or replaced. It serves as a protective measure against any potentially harmful bacteria or microbes that could enter the water supply during infrastructure updates. The City of Delray Beach's announcement provides the complete instructions for residents to follow.
The notice is set to remain active until the city issues a formal rescission, signaling that the water has been tested and confirmed safe for regular use. Residents with questions or needing additional information have been directed to call (561) 243-7312 for assistance, referring to Case #0819.
