Earlier this week, local officials issued a precautionary boil water notice for residents and water customers in the Burnt Store and Tuckers Point service areas of Charlotte County, Florida.
According to Charlotte County Utilities, the notice took effect at 9 a.m. on January 7, 2026, following operational work at the Burnt Store Water Treatment Plant. The advisory was issued as a safety measure while follow-up water quality testing was carried out.
What residents should know
- Customers were advised to boil tap water before drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth
- Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute
- Bottled water could be used as an alternative during the advisory
Officials stated that the notice would remain in place until testing confirmed the water met required safety standards. Residents are encouraged to check with Charlotte County Utilities for the current status of the advisory and any updated guidance.
