HURRICANE MICHAEL: Gulf County boil water notice reinstated
City Manager Michael Hammond has reinstated a boil water notice for the City of Port St. Joe until further notice.
With reinstatement of the notice, all of Gulf County is now under a boil water notice.
Safe sources of drinking water include bottled, disinfected or both boiled and cooled water.
Use only safe drinking water.
Drink only commercially available bottled, boiled or disinfected water until your supply is tested and deemed safe.
Otherwise, water should be disinfected or both boiled and cooled before use.
Bringing water to a rolling boil for 1 minute will kill infectious organisms (germs).
Mix the solution and let it stand for 30 minutes.
Containers for water should be rinsed with a bleach solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water before reusing them.
Do not rely on unverified methods for decontaminating water.
