CEDAR KEY WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT

Citizens of Cedar Key Water & Sewer District,

The Saltwater Intrusion is no longer an issue and you can return to normal water usage.

Sincerely,

The Cedar Key Water & Sewer District

Drinking water advisory from Cedar Key Water and Sewer District
You no longer have to boil water. Until further notice, however, please use bottled water for drinking and cooking. The saltwater infiltration of our potable water is slowly clearing out.
Appliances should not be affected by the water. The district is not making any recommendations one way or the other, so use your judgement.
Please conserve water. Do not fill pools or hot tubs or water your yards.
Bottled water is available at many locations on the island. Please use it!

An update on CKWSD drinking water issues:
Continue to boil water until further notice. The CKWSD will begin
taking samples starting today, and after two days of clean results, the
boil water notice will be lifted.
Salinity in the drinking water is a taste issue, that has been caused by
the flooding of seawater miles inland due to Hurricane Idalia. We are
working to clear the wells of seawater and we hope the salinity will be
reduced to very low levels. We will keep you posted on this progress.

Until further notice the Cedar Key Water & Sewer District is under a Boil Water Advisory
