Update: 9-21-20, 5:45 PM

ECUA's sampling team undertook an aggressive sampling effort that began on Friday afternoon in order to help us clear the system-wide Precautionary Boil Water Notice (PBWN) as quickly as possible. Our teams collected 385 samples at 190 sites in 48 hrs. (2 samples per site) and all but two of these samples' results have returned as clear. As such, effective immediately, the system-wide Precautionary Boil Water Notice (PBWN) issued by the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) on September 16 has been lifted, with the exception of the two areas within our system. These areas are the Kings Road Subdivision and a 4-block area in East Hill delineated by 16th Avenue, east to 20th Avenue, and E. Mallory St., south to E. Lloyd St.

ECUA will issue separate advisories to cover these two specific areas, however, following are the specific streets included in the separate advisories:

Kings Road Subdivision:

• Turnberry Rd.

Effective immediately, the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority is issuing a system-wide Precautionary Boil Water Notice -PBWN- to its water system customers. This notice is in response to the significant and wide-spread damages sustained from Hurricane Sally. ECUA crews are already out in the field working to locate, isolate, and repair main breaks in order to restore service as quickly as possible. Although the majority of our customers remain in service, there are too many main breaks that require a PBWN for it to be practical to issue separate notices during this initial emergency response. Once the number of pending repairs is significantly reduced, the ECUA will revert to issuing separate notices for individual areas.We ask for our customers’ patience and understanding as we work to repair hundreds of breaks, giving priority to our hospitals, dialysis centers, and other critical care facilities.

Residents are advised to boil water for one minute at a rolling boil or to use 8 drops of regular unscented household bleach per gallon of water, for water to be used for drinking or cooking purposes.
