SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — A reduction of pressure at the Markham Water Treatment Plant has led Seminole County officials to issue a precautionary boil water alert for a number of neighborhoods.
A message was sent to 25 neighborhoods Monday, according to county officials.
Officials said they used Nextdoor.com as well as Reverse 911 to alert residents.
Seminole County Environmental Services said affected residents should boil any water to be used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes. Bottled water could also be used.
They said a rolling boil of one minute is sufficient to ensure the water is safe to use.
Officials said the notice remains in effect until further notice. They said water samples are being tested.
