Alternatively, they may use another water source such as bottled water.
Consumption includes drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, food preparation, fruit and vegetable washing, pet consumption, and the preparation of baby formula.
Customers do NOT need to boil water prior to using it for showering or bathing.
Before a boil water advisory is lifted, CFPUA lab staff test the water to ensure it is safe to drink.

Boil-water notice issued for part of Fort Lauderdale’s Hendricks Isle

An emergency repair to Fort Lauderdale’s water system prompted the city to issue a boil-water notice Sunday night.
The city is urging residents on the east side of Hendricks Isle, from number 28 to 535, to boil all water before ingesting it, using it for cooking, brushing teeth or washing dishes.
“A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient,” the city said in a notice.
