PREVIOUS STORY: OCT. 7

BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Due to the expected impacts of Hurricane Matthew water feeds were shut down beachside in order to protect the infrastructure and integrity of the entire water distribution system.

Water service has now been restored to all Melbourne water customers living in beachside communities south of Pineda Causeway.

Therefore, as a precaution, we advise all beachside customers that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes, be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.

This precautionary boil water notice only affects all City of Melbourne water beachside customers south of Pineda Causeway, including Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach.

We will alert customers via a Code Red call and will also post it on this website and the city’s Twitter and Facebook pages as soon as the precautionary boil water notice is lifted.
