JEA has issued a precautionary advisory for certain customers to boil water used for drinking and food preparation or to use bottled water for those purposes.
The boil water advisory affects customers on South Ponte Vedra Boulevard in Ponte Vedra Beach between 2493-3103, including homes on Turtle Shores Drive, Beachside Drive & Yellow Bill Lane.
This precautionary advisory is being issued due to a water main break that happened early Monday when a car hit a fire hydrant.
JEA said the advisory will remain in effect until the problem has been corrected and two consecutive days of satisfactory bacteriological results have been obtained.
Customers should bring water to a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute prior to using for drinking, food preparation, or cooking.
It is recommended that customers flush water lines for three minutes after water returns in order to remove any air and possible sediments from the lines.
For more information on the advisory, contact JEA Customer Service at 904-665-6000.
