WAKULLA COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) — A precautionary boil water notice has been issued for Talquin Electric members in the Wakulla County area.
The boil water notice applies to the Wakulla County area, including customers in Spring Creek, Shell Point and Live Oak Island.
Talquin Electric is telling those residents to bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using it for drinking or cooking.
In addition, they said the system may experience discolored tap water due to shifting sediments in the water main.
They also advise washing clothes with discolored water may tint or stain garments, so make sure to run water from an outside spigot or bathtub faucet to assure that water has been flushed before operating appliances. If sediment is present in the water, let it settle before drinking.
