Original Story, April 3: JEA crews are assessing damage and impacts from a broken water main at 6280 Race Track Road, just west of U.S. 1 in northern St. Johns County.

The break is in an area off the road, so traffic impacts should be minimal, JEA said.

Customers in the area may experience low or no water pressure. JEA said it will notify impacted customers should a boil water advisory be declared.

A precautionary advisory will be in effect 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 in the following area:

US1 and Race Track Road area

This precautionary advisory is being issued due to a construction related water main break that occurred on Friday, 4/3/2020.

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.

This notice will remain in effect until the problem has been corrected and two consecutive days of satisfactory bacteriological results have been obtained.

JEA thanks all of its customers for their cooperation and patience.
