The City of Cape Coral opened a ninth precautionary boil water area Wednesday morning after a water main break near 4932 SW 11th Avenue.
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 4932 SW 11th Avenue should check the city map rather than assume that an entire street is covered.
The city record does not provide a reliable interruption time. 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.
