Boil Water Advisory Extended In Bradenton: Officials

BRADENTON, FL — A precautionary boil water advisory issued Sunday in Bradenton has been extended until Wednesday at 10 a.m., according to a news release from city officials.

The notice was issued after a storm knocked out power at the water treatment plant overnight Sunday, causing widespread low water pressure throughout the city.

The advisory’s extension is necessary due to sampling protocols set forth by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the city said.

The boil water notice is precautionary only and is not mandatory under regulations.

Public Works personnel sampled two-thirds of the city’s water system, which requires a 24-hour turnaround time from the laboratory, on Monday. The final round of testing is scheduled for Tuesday and will require another 24 hours for those results.

Some areas of the city, which use Manatee County water but are billed by the city, didn’t experience the pressure interruption and aren’t affected by the boil water notice. These areas include:

• Perico Bay
• Manatee Memorial
• Palma Sola
• Harbor Isle
• Harbor Isle Marina
