The City of Cape Coral opened a 10th precautionary boil water area Wednesday morning after a water main break near Country Club Boulevard.
The city record says the break affects drinking water and carries no rescission date, so the notice is active.
What residents should do
Bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute before drinking it, cooking with it, making ice, preparing drinks or baby bottles, rinsing food, brushing teeth or washing dishes. Bottled water is an alternative.
Cape Coral publishes a mapped boundary rather than a street list or household count. Anyone near Country Club Boulevard should check the city map to see whether the notice covers their home or business.
The city data appears to misspell Country Club Boulevard in its address field. The official record also does not provide a reliable interruption time because its timestamp and separate hour fields conflict, so neither is used here.
The notice remains in place until the city posts a rescission. No repair completion time has been published.
