VERO BEACH — Residents on 24th Avenue are being warned that they will be without water next Tuesday, Sept. 1, for approximately four hours starting at 9 a.m.
Workers will be replacing a hydrant valve in the area, which requires the water to be shut off.
The water department is advising that affected residents should boil their water before using it to drink, cook, make ice, brush teeth or wash dishes. The department said that a rolling boil of one minute would suffice and that bottled water could be used as an alternative to boiling.
Affected addresses on 24th Avenue include: 306, 316, 326, 346, 356,366, and 376.
The boil water notice will remain in effect until a bacteriological survey shows that the water is safe to drink. That study could take up to 72 hours to complete.
Those with questions or concerns may call the Utility Operations Center Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at (772) 226-3400 or the South County Water Plant after hours and weekends at (772) 770-5068.
