According to the Town of Fort Myers Beach, a massive water main line break in the Times Square area has been repaired by the town’s public works department.

However, as a precautionary measure, residents of FMB should boil all water to be used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes. A rolling boil of one minute should be sufficient.

The precautionary measure will remain in effect until the notice has been lifted and a bacterial survey shows that the water is safe to drink.

Notice will be placed on the Web site of the Town of Fort Myers Beach. Go to “http://www.fortmyersbeachfl.gov”>www.fortmyersbeachfl.gov for updates.
