Precautionary Boil Water Notice 5/5/25 Update – City of Lake Alfred
We’d like to provide a quick update regarding the Citywide Precautionary Boil Water Notice currently in effect.
The boil water notice remains in effect until further notice, as we are currently still awaiting the bacteriological samples from the lab. We are actively following state testing protocols and will lift the notice upon receiving two consecutive days of lab results to confirm the water is safe to drink. This process typically takes around 72 hours, depending on lab timing.
In the meantime, please continue to boil all water for at least one (1) minute before using it for:
• Drinking
• Cooking
• Brushing teeth
• Washing dishes
We will provide a daily update and appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the safety of Lake Alfred’s water system.
