Pasco County Issues Precautionary Boil Water Notice For 2 Schools

PASCO COUNTY, FL — Pasco County Utilities is issuing a precautionary boil water notice for approximately 450 customers at the following locations:

• River Ridge High School
• River Ridge Middle School
• Rosewood of River Ridge
• Sabalwood of River Ridge
• River Ridge Country Club

The water system in this area lost pressure today when an independent contractor working at the intersection of Town Center Road and Emery Drive in New Port Richey hit a water main. Pasco County Utilities crews are working to repair the pipe.

As a precautionary measure, all water used for drinking or cooking should be boiled for at least one minute. Icemakers should be turned off, and any ice made within the past 12 hours should be discarded.

This precautionary boil notice will remain in effect until normal water service is restored and tests show the water is safe for drinking and cooking. A rescind notice will be posted at that time.
