Doral Residents Affected By Water Main Break Told To Boil Water

DORAL, FL — Miami-Dade College West Campus was closed Tuesday and a number of Doral residents were told to boil their water after a water main break sent water pouring into some city streets. The break left the campus without water, according to the university's Hesselin Fernandez De Cueto.

Miami-Dade Water & Sewer issued a precautionary boil water notice for a portion of Doral. The notice affects customers from NW 34 Street to NW 41 Street and NW 107 Avenue to NW 136 Place as well as customers from NW 41 Street to NW 42 Street and NW 107 Avenue to NW 109 Avenue.

Officials said the precautionary boil water notice would be lifted following a minimum of two days of clear testing.

County water officials said that a contractor broke a 24-inch pipe.

Fernandez De Cueto said that the Miami-Dade campus had no functional restrooms and chiller operations as of Tuesday morning.

"Evening classes at MDC’s West Campus July 3 have been moved to the Kendall Campus due to the ongoing water main repair nearby," Fernandez De Cueto said.
