The Island Water Association distribution crews are onsite for an emergency water main repair on Sanibel Island near the intersection of Wulfert Road and Sanibel Captiva Road.
After water is restored, all impacted areas will be under a precautionary boil water advisory until bacteriological testing shows the drinking water is safe. These tests normally take 48 to 72 hours to complete. During the boil water advisory, all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes must be boiled at a roiling boil for one minute. Or, as an alternative, bottled water may be used.
The following areas are currently without water as crews assess the damage and make the necessary repairs:
Baltusrol Court
Blue Crab Court
Caloosa Drive
Caloosa End Lane
Dinkins Lake Road
Henderson Road
Indian Court
Key Lime Place
Lands End Place
Los Colony Road
Punta Caloosa Court
Shop Road
Starling Way
Troon Court
Wulfert Road
Updates on the repair and advisories will be available on IWA’s website, www.islandwater.com.
