BALDWIN, Fla. – A water outage for the entire Town of Baldwin began at 1 p.m. Tuesday and will continue until further notice so that a water main break at the northwest intersection of Oliver and Main streets can be repaired.
The outage will affect all residents and businesses in the town, officials confirmed.
“This is going to be a big emergency repair needed,” Assistant Town Clerk Misty Sloan explained.
Once water service is restored, all Baldwin residents will be under a precautionary boil water notice for three days, town officials announced.
They advise residents to boil all water used for drinking and cooking for at least one minute or to use bottled water until the boil water notice is lifted.
The precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until a bacteriological survey shows that the water is safe to drink.
The process typically takes three to four business days.
Officials said they will notify residents if they need to continue boiling water after the fourth day.
Anyone with questions can call Baldwin Town Hall at 904-266-5030.
