Boil Water Notice Lifted In Polk County

BARTOW, FL — A precautionary boil water notice has been lifted for residents of the Christina Lakes subdivision within the Southwest Region Public Water System. The notice affected about 204 customers.

"Bacteriological water samples collected from the area are free of contamination. We are pleased to inform you that your water supply has been completely cleared for your use," said Polk County Utilities on Monday.
