IWA: Water main break, outage on Sanibel
At about 3:15 p.m. today, Jan. 23, the Island Water Association (IWA) reported that distribution crews were onsite for an emergency water main repair near the intersection of Wulfert Road and Sanibel-Captiva Road.
The following areas are currently without water as crews assess the damage and make the necessary repairs:
– Baltusrol Court
– Blue Crab Court
– Caloosa Drive
– Caloosa End Lane
– Dinkins Lake Road
– Henderson Road
– Indian Court
– Key Lime Place
– Lands End Place
– Los Colony Road
– Punta Caloosa Court
– Shop Road
– Starling Way
– Troon Court
– Wulfert Road
The IWA reported that after water is restored, all impacted areas will be under a precautionary boil water advisory until bacteriological testing shows the drinking water is safe. The tests normally take 48-72 hours to complete.
During the boil water advisory, all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes must be boiled at a roiling boil for one minute. Or, as an alternative, bottled water may be used.
