N. Miami Beach Area Under Boil Water Advisory

MIAMI BEACH (CBS4)- The city of North Miami Beach issued a precautionary boil water notice Wednesday for the area within Northeast 165^th Street to  Northeast 171^st Street.

Officials said the advisory was issued after a water main break and loss of water pressure occurred at NE 170^th Street and 35^th Avenue. The advisory also includes NE 35^th Avenue in the Eastern Shores Community, according to officials.

Residents in the area are advised to boil all water used for drinking or cooking prior to usage.  To properly remove contaminants, allow a rolling boil for one minute, officials said. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.

The precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until the problem has been corrected and bacteriological testing shows that the water is safe to drink and a rescinding notice is distributed.

Anyone with questions is asked to contact the Public Information Officer at 305- 919-3756.
