Residents of the Greenbriar neighborhood in Winter Springs have been put on high alert due to a precautionary boil water notice. A water main break at Old White Way near Troon Trace resulted in service interruptions, leading city officials to recommend that water from taps should be boiled for at least one minute before usage, according to a release from Winter Springs Utilities reported by WFTV.
The specific areas affected include addresses on Troon Trace, Torrey Pine Drive, Glen Abbey Circle, White Springs Lane, and Old White Way, areas advised to follow these precautions until Winter Springs Utilities confirms the water's safety. Residents might also experience intermittent water service or see discolored water, which is attributed to sediment that was disturbed during the break and subsequent repairs, as mentioned in a FOX 35 Orlando report.
This safety measure aligns with both CDC and EPA guidelines following such an event. The timeline for this boil water notice remains indefinite, standing until the assessment and repair efforts ascertain that the water quality meets health standards.
For residents seeking more information, Winter Springs Utilities has provided contact numbers: 407-327-1800 for customer service and 407-327-2669 for after-hours service.
