Boil water notice for West Melbourne south of US 192 after a water main break

West Melbourne residents who live south of US 192 and east of Hollywood Boulevard are under a precautionary boil water notice after a water main break, according to a notice from the City of West Melbourne posted Monday. The city said the notice was issued by the City of Melbourne, which supplies West Melbourne's drinking water, and that the exact location of the break wasn't known yet. Crews are working to find it and make repairs, the city said. WFTV also reported the notice.

Until the notice is lifted, the city advises boiling any water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes at a rolling boil for one minute, or using bottled water instead. The notice stays in effect until the problem is fixed and testing confirms the water is safe, and residents will get another notification when it's lifted. A precautionary notice means contaminants could get into the pipes after a loss of pressure, not that the water is known to be contaminated, according to the City of Melbourne.

The break comes on a day of heavy flooding across south and central Brevard. See our flash flood story for the latest warnings.
