Hawthorne residents receive boil water notice

Updated July 21, 2010 at 7:30 p. m.

The City of Hawthorne is issuing a Precautionary Boil Water Notice effective this Thursday morning at 1 a.m. as the Public Works Department switches to a new water supply tank.  This work will result in a loss of pressure until 5 a.m. when pressure will be restored.

The City of Hawthorne will rescind this precautionary boil water notice upon receipt of satisfactory bacteriological sampling results.  Residents and customers who have questions regarding this issue should call 352-481-2432.

This Precautionary Boiled Water Notice will remain in effect until bacteriological testing demonstrates that there is no presence of bacteriological contaminates.  The City of Hawthorne anticipates this Notice will be rescinded by this Friday, July 23, in the afternoon. 

Contact John Cywinski, City of Hawthorne Public Works Department, at 352-481-2432 or Anthony Dennis, Alachua County Health Department, at 352-334-7931 for questions regarding this matter.
