A boil water advisory has been lifted for the majority of Fort Lauderdale residents.

City officials announced Sunday night that residents in all but a few neighborhoods are out of the advisory that was put into effect last week, after a worker for an FPL subcontractor from Wellington struck a water main, causing the temporary loss of water to 220,000 people in Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities.

Florida Communication Concepts Inc. was cited for doing the work without a permit.

The boil water notice will remain in effect for the following streets in the Harbor Beach, Harbour Inlet, Harbour Isles, and Breakwater Surf Homes Neighborhoods:

  • All of South Ocean Drive from SE 20 Street North to the Cul-de-sac
  • SE Seabeeze Blvd from 1235 to the Mercedes River Bridge;
  • Mayan Drive
  • Grace Drive
  • Marion Drive
  • Barbara Drive from SE 25 Ave to S. Ocean Drive
  • Anchor Drive west of S. Ocean Drive
  • SE 26 Ave from Anchor Drive to Inlet Drive
  • SE 26 Terrace south of Anchor Drive
  • 2717 Harbor Beach Pkwy

A temporary repair has been completed and bacteriological surveys show that the water is safe to drink and for all other uses.

If you have any questions, please call the 24-Hour Customer Service Call Center at 954-828-8000.

THIS LIFT IS FOR CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE RESIDENTS ONLY. Residents of Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Village of Sea Ranch Lakes, Tamarac, Town of Davie, and Port Everglades should consult with their city officials.
