Port Richey Area, Aberdeen Subdivision Under Boil Water Notices

PORT RICHEY, FL — A precautionary boil water notice remains in effect in the Marina Palms and Bayou Vista areas of Port Richey.

The notice was issued Saturday for the area of U.S. 19 south of the Cotee River due to an 8-inch water main break. Residents are advised to boil water for one minute before using it for drinking or cooking.

The notice will remain in effect until a bacteriological survey shows that the water is safe to drink. Generally the boil water notice is in effect for three working days beginning the day the pressure was lost.

A boil water notice is also in effect for the Aberdeen subdivision in Wesley Chapel due to maintenance work on the utility system. The maintenance work has been completed but the boil water notice is in effect until tests have been done on the water.

A boil water notice has been lifted for all customers in the New River Lakes area and Creative World School, 32109 State Road 54 in Wesley Chapel after tests showed the water is safe.
