EARLIER STORY:
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- Boynton Beach Utilities issued a precautionary boil water notice Tuesday after a water treatment plant experienced an electrical issue that caused low water pressure for a short time.
The water distribution system did not completely lose pressure.
The notice will remain in effect until the utility ensures the water has been fully tested and is safe.
All water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or dish washing should be boiled.
A rolling boil for a minimum of one minute is sufficient.
