> This is a Code Red Alert.
> 
> The City of Deerfield Beach is issuing a Boil Water Alert to residents. On February 3, 2017 a Raw Water Well tested positive for E. coli. As our residents, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation. The well was taken out of service and it is being treated and repaired. It is no longer supplying raw water to our Water Treatment Plant.
> 
> In an abundance of caution, the City of Deerfield Beach is collecting additional bacteriological samples throughout our distribution system to rule out any contamination. This sampling began on February 3rd and will continue for two days or until deemed necessary to ensure the safety of the drinking water supplied to our residents. Residents should anticipate remaining in a boil water status until Sunday. The areas within the City of Deerfield Beach that are affected by this notice are zip codes 33441, 33442 and only North of SW 15th Street within zip code 33064.
> 
> Bacterial contamination can occur when increased run-off enters the drinking water source (for example, following heavy rains). It can also happen due to a break in the distribution system or pipes.
> 
> If you receive your water bill from Broward County you are not affected by this notice.
> 
> If you should have any questions you can contact the Deerfield Beach Beach Water Department at 954.480.4370. You can also get more information on the city website at www.DFB.city.
