ORIGINAL POSTING on June 16:

Volusia County has restored water service to certain areas in Debary following a disruption caused by a lightning strike to a County water main earlier today, June 16. As such, a precautionary boil water notice has been issued out of an abundance of caution for all homes in Riviera Bella, Traders Cove, Highbanks Marina Resort, and homes to the south along Fort Florida Point Road, River Road, and 15th Street.

A precautionary boil water notice means that residents should boil all water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. Bring the water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use. Bottled water may also be used as an alternative.

This advisory is a preventive measure until water testing confirms the system is safe. Volusia County is notifying impacted households directly and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
