Precautionary Boil Water Notice for 1000 West Tharpe Street
Due to maintenance or repairs on the water system, the City of Tallahassee has experienced a loss of water pressure in your neighborhood.
Therefore, as a precaution, we advise that all water used for drinking, making ice, food preparation, brushing teeth, and washing dishes be boiled. A ROLLING BOIL OF ONE MINUTE IS SUFFICIENT. If you cannot boil your tap water, it can be disinfected by adding 8 drops of unscented household bleach (4% to 6% active ingredients) to each gallon of water, then mixing the water and allowing it to stand for a minimum period of 30 minutes. Note: Cloudy water requires 16 drops of bleach per gallon, mix well and allow a 30-minute contact time. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
THIS PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND A BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY SHOWS THAT THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK. When this occurs, you will receive a similar notice advising you that the water is safe to drink.
We regret any inconvenience during this precautionary measure. If you have any questions, please call 850-891-1200 to speak to a representative of Water Operations.
What is a precautionary boil water notice?
A precautionary boil water notice may be issued in the event of a water main break, a loss of power or water pressure, or another emergency that may create the opportunity for contaminants to enter the pipes. The precautionary boil water notice does not mean that the water is contaminated; however, if you receive one, the City recommends – as a precaution – that you boil your tap water before consuming it.
