City Of Clearwater: UPDATE: Contractor Hits Water Main In Coachman Park. Clearwater Beach, Island Estates And Sand Key Customers Will Ne ...

Press release from the City of Clearwater:

10/27/2021 6:31 PM

Due to low water pressure as a result of the water main break, a precautionary boil water notice is in effect for water customers in Island Estates, Clearwater Beach, and parts of Sand Key. It has been determined that downtown customers are not affected by this break.

Residents are advised to boil water that will be used for drinking or cooking for a period of one minute, for at least the next two days to make sure that the water is safe. Showers are safe to take; just be sure not to drink the water. Ice machines may contain ice that was made after the break was repaired, so it might be best to toss it out.

We will let the affected residents know when laboratory results have been returned and they no longer need to boil water. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused.

Water service and pressure is expected to be restored in the next few hours.
