Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) is working on a necessary repair to a water main on 140th Ave. N. between Orange Blvd. and 71st Pl. N. in Loxahatchee, FL 33470.
The repair work will begin on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, and requires the closure of all lanes of traffic running north and south on 140th Ave. N. between Orange Blvd. and 71st Pl. N. These lanes will remain closed until repairs are complete. Closing the affected lanes is necessary to ensure the safety of the public and our repair crews. Drivers should use an alternative route until repairs are completed.
All necessary devices will be in place to redirect traffic as needed. PBCWUD expects work to be ongoing for this repair during the hours of 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, and is urging commuters to plan accordingly.
At this time, approximately 25 customer addresses have been advised of a precautionary boil water notice which is in effect until further notice.
As a health precaution, all water that is used for drinking, cooking, making ice and brushing teeth should be brought to a boil for a minimum of one (1) minute and cooled prior to consumption.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank the community for patience and understanding as we complete the repairs as quickly and safely as possible.
