Boil-water notice issued in Deltona after contractor causes main break, county says
A precautionary 48-hour boil-water notice was issued Tuesday for Volusia County Water Utility customers in a portion of Deltona after a private cable contractor caused a water-main break, according to the county. The contractor — who isn’t affiliated with the city or county — struck and damaged a water main along Howland Boulevard late that afternoon, leading to a temporary interruption in the affected area’s water service, Volusia County said in a news release. County utility crews responded and fully restored water service shortly after the main break, the release states. The county said that those who receive water service through the city of Deltona are not affected, as well as signage that was being posted at the boundaries of the affected area to notify residents will be removed after bacteriological testing confirms the water is safe to drink. “As a precaution, customers served by the Volusia County Water Utility in the affected area should boil water intended for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes before use,” the statement reads. “A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. Customers should also discard any ice produced by automatic ice makers. Alternatively, bottled water may be used.” Customers with further questions are encouraged to contact Volusia County Utilities Operations at 386-822-6465.
