The Town of Davie residents are serviced by 6 utility service areas: Davie, Sunrise, Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Ferncrest, and Broward County. A boil water notice is only in effect for Davie Utilities Service Areas and for residents who receive a water bill from Broward County. The boil water information is as follows:

• We advise that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient.

• If you are unable to boil your water, tap water can be disinfected by adding 8 drops of unscented household bleach (4 – 6 % active ingredients) to each gallon of water, then mixing the water and allowing it to stand for a minimum period of 30 minutes.  Note: Cloudy water requires 16 drops of bleach and a 30 minute contact time.
