A precautionary 48-hour boil-water notice was issued 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, 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.
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. 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.
