The Hialeah Public Works Department has issued a boil water order that remains in effect Saturday for the Hialeah Heights neighborhood. The precautionary order will be lifted as soon as sample testing shows that the water is free of possible contamination.
What is the limit?
▪ North of West 116th Street.
▪ South of West 84th Street.
▪ East of I-75 southbound.
▪ West of West 44th Avenue.
What you should do?
The Hialeah Public Works Department suggests that residents should “in an abundance of caution” boil water for at least one minute for all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice and brushing teeth. The city did not say why tests of the water led to the order Friday, but like much of South Florida, the area was inundated with flooding after persistent rainfall from a tropical system that descended on the area on Tuesday and continued on Saturday.
The Hialeah Public Works Department can be reached during business hours at 305-556-3800.
