Florida Governmental Utility Authority issues Precautionary Boil Water Notification within the Lehigh Acres service area

By Staff | Jan 21, 2022

The Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) has issued a Precautionary Boil Water Advisory on Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022, at 3 p.m., to Lehigh Acres Utility System. Customers residing North Valley Drive, West of Guava Tree Court, East of Alabama Road, including Arlington Boulevard and Stafford Creek and Vista Palms Apartments, and all customers who may have experience a water outage living within the defined service area due to a 4-inch water main break at 10661 Jacatree Court.

The water main has been repaired and water samples have been taken to a Florida Department of Health-certified laboratory. Provided that the FGUA receives clearance for two rounds of water sampling results the FGUA will attempt to rescind the Advisory by Monday, Jan. 24, 2022.

The FGUA provides a Boil Water Notice Advisory under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requirements in the event that water pressure drops below 20 pounds per square inch in the service area. In the meantime, the FGUA advises that all water used for drinking or cooked be boiled. A rolling boil for a period of one minute is sufficient to ensure the water is free of possible bacteria or viruses. Alternatively, bottled water may be used.

For additional information or updates, FGUA customers may contact the FGUA Lehigh Acres Utility Systems Customer Service Office at 239-368-1615, or visit the FGUA web site at http://www.fgua.com/outages-and-notices
