Melbourne tap water again safe to drink: Boil water notice rescinded

FLORIDA TODAY Staff  |  Florida Today

Melbourne tap water is again safe to drink.

The boil water notice issued Friday for Melbourne water was rescinded Saturday afternoon following the satisfactory completion of a bacteriological survey, said Cheryl Mall, Melbourne’s public information officer. The testing showed that the water was safe.

On Friday, Melbourne alerted the community that E. Coli bacteria had been found in one routine sample taken from 1037 Ashley Ave. in Indian Harbour Beach on April 10.

Affected cities had included customers of Melbourne water south of the Pineda Causeway:

  • Indialantic
  • Indian Harbour Beach
  • Melbourne
  • Melbourne Beach
  • Palm Shores
  • Satellite Beach
  • Unincorporated Brevard south of Pineda (does not include Suntree and Viera)
