BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE BEACH, FLORIDA — Water service has been restored to all affected customers between 2900 – 2927 Hwy. A1A and 4982 – 4995 Hwy. A1A in Melbourne Beach, , including all customers located on connecting streets in between these north and south limits addresses.

A leak occurred in a large water distribution main located at 2980 Hwy. A1A in Melbourne Beach, near the 7-11. To repair the leak, city crews temporarily closed a valve at 2900 – 2927 Hwy A1A Melbourne Beach on June 20. Service has been restored.

Due to the interruption in service and the drop in water pressure, as a precaution, the City of Melbourne advises 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.
