JEA: Precautionary boil water advisory in Southside area

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A precautionary boil water advisory is in effect for several local neighborhoods between Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard.

The Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) says the advisory is due to a water main break that led to a water outage.

JEA recommends customers bring water to a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute prior to using for drinking, food preparation or cooking.
