Flooding events are common in most counties and Florida. Flooded wells are very susceptible to microorganism contamination. County health departments should issue precautionary boil water notices in flooded areas where private residences and establishments rely on wells for drinking water.
The department periodically publishes information intended for
the general public on contaminated wells and disinfection
procedures. You can download and print a copy of a sample
information brochure by clicking here.
