ECUA issues boil water notice for 2 areas in Pensacola after 6-inch water main break

PENSACOLA, Fla. — The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority issued a Precautionary Boil Water Notice for two areas in Pensacola.

The affected areas are as follows:

• 800-1015 Bloodworth Ln.
• 7210 N. Davis Hwy.

ECUA says this incident stems from a six-inch water main break.

They shared the following information.

Residents located in the specified PBWN area are advised to boil water for one minute at a rolling boil or to use 8 drops of regular unscented household bleach per gallon of water, for water to be used for drinking or cooking purposes. Two independent bacteriological samples have been initiated, and the advisory will be lifted as soon as possible. This process routinely takes 48 hours.

ECUA crews completed the repair work and have flushed out the lines. Residents within the PBWN area and nearby are advised that there is a possibility of discolored water as a result of the utility work, and to flush their home’s plumbing by running their taps for a few minutes. If problems persist, customers are asked to contact ECUA Customer Service at 850-476-0480 for assistance.
