Repairs on the 16" water main at Las Olas Boulevard and Bontona Boulevard are expected to take up to eight hours, but residents are urged to wait until they receive official notice that water is safe to drink.
All water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient.
As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
