Due to water main repairs, Marion County Utilities has issued a precautionary boil water notice for its customers within the Cedar Hills, Doublegate, and Hawks Landing communities.
All customers within these communities are advised to bring water intended for consumption to a rapid boil for at least one minute until this precautionary notice is lifted. As an alternative, bottled water may be used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice, or washing dishes.
Any water that is used for laundry, bathing, and showering does not need to be boiled.
Customers can expect notification from Marion County Utilities after the water has been proven safe to drink per the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s guidelines.
Marion County Utilities is notifying its customers via emails, interactive community calls, media release, and/or social media, and customers can expect the same type of notifications once the boil water notice has been lifted.
For more information about the precautionary boil water notice, or to update the contact information on an account, call the Marion County Utilities customer service team at 352-307-6000.
