Approximately 3,000 Collier County Public Utilities customers are under a boil water notice due to a water main break at Collier Boulevard near Vanderbilt Beach Road.
The break caused low water pressure for customers in the North part of the county. Affected customers have been notified through the NotifyNow customer notification system.
Approximately 300 customers who live in the Tuscany Pointe and Bucks Run neighborhoods are experiencing a temporary water service outage. These customers will receive bottled water.
Affected customers will be contacted when the boil water notice is lifted.
The break occurred when a contractor bored through the 24-inch water main. Repair crews are on the scene. Repairs are expected to take 12 to 14 hours. One lane of Collier Boulevard will remain closed until repairs are complete.
