City of Melbourne Issues Boil Water Alert

BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – A precautionary boil water was issued today at 10 a.m. in the Melbourne areas between Crane Creek and Florida Ave., and between Babcock Street and Lipscomb Street.

According to the City of Melbourne, a water transmission line ruptured in the vicinity of a construction project may have caused low water pressure within the affected area. As a result, as a precaution, they advise that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes, be boiled.
