STARKE, Fla. – City of Starke Water Utility Customers no longer need to boil their water before consuming.

The boil advisory, which was issued Thursday, was lifted Sunday around noon.

Officials said the advisory was precautionary and was triggered by a drop in water pressure that created the potential for contamination.

Residents of the municipal water system had been advised to boil water for at least one full minute before drinking, cooking or brushing teeth.
