The City of Cape Coral opened two precautionary boil water areas Thursday morning after separate water main breaks.

The city's live water notice map places one area near 906 Country Club Boulevard and the other near 801 SW 51st Terrace. Both records identify drinking water as affected and carry no rescission date.

What residents in the mapped areas should do

Bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, making ice, preparing drinks or other consumption. Bottled water is an alternative.

Cape Coral says showering and laundry are not restricted by a precautionary boil water notice. The city publishes mapped boundaries rather than street lists or household counts, so nearby residents should check the map to see whether either area covers their property.
