City of Chipley PWS# 1670135
Attention Customers: On Jackson Avenue (Hwy. 90) from Hoyt Street west to Hwy. 277 on both sides of the highway.
Due to a water main break within your area, we are issuing a “Precautionary Boil Water Notice.” This notice will begin Tuesday, July 15th @ 10:15 a.m.
This is only a precautionary measure being taken until we can positively assure our customers that the water is safe. The City of Chipley apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and will be making every effort to return your water service to normal operation as soon as possible.
THEREFORE, AS A PRECAUTION, WE ADVISE THAT ALL WATER USED FOR DRINKING, COOKING, MAKING ICE, BRUSHING TEETH OR WASHING DISHES BE BOILED. A ROLLING BOIL OF ONE MINUTE IS SUFFICENT. AS AN ALTERNATIVE BOTTLED WATER MAY BE USED.
THE WATER SYSTEM WILL BE COLLECTING SAMPLES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE MADE TO MAKE SURE NO CONTAMINANTS ENTERED THE SYSTEM DURING THE TIME THE WORK WAS BEING COMPLETED. THIS PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS UNTIL TWO BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEYS (ONE PER DAY) SHOW THAT THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK.
YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY AN ORANGE DOORKNOCKER WHEN THIS “PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE” HAS BEEN LIFTED.
If you have any questions, please call the Public Works Department at 850-638-6346.
