Which cities still have to boil drinking water?.
As recovery and cleanup efforts continue after Hurricane Irma, water in several areas might still be unsafe for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice or washing dishes without boiling it first.
Residents are fine showering and doing laundry with tap water if they are under a boil-water order, but they should keep water out of their eyes and mouth.
Here’s an updated look at affected areas as of Wednesday: Still under boil-water advisory: Davie, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, West Park Boil-water advisory lifted: Pahokee, Canal Park What to do: Boil water for at least one minute before using.
If boiling is not possible, water can be disinfected by adding eight drops of plain, unscented bleach per gallon of water and letting it stand for 30 minutes before drinking.
If the water remains cloudy after 30 minutes, repeat the procedure.
