TEMPORARY WATER INTERRUPTIONS
EXPECTED ON SOUTH LIDO KEY
Sarasota, FL: City of Sarasota water customers
on South Lido Key will temporarily lose their water service
beginning next Mon., October 6, 2008, to facilitate a much
needed public works construction project. Immediately following
the water interruption, impacted areas will be placed under
a boil water advisory for approximately two days.
The construction project is scheduled
for four phases over four weeks. The expected timing and impacted
areas (see map) are as follows:
• Phase One: S. Polk Dr. and Benjamin
Franklin Dr. - Oct. 6th
• Phase Two: Benjamin Franklin
Dr. south of Harrison Dr. - Oct. 13th
• Phase Three: S. Polk Dr. and
Benjamin Franklin Dr. north of Harrison Dr. - Oct. 20th
• Phase Four: Benjamin Franklin
Dr. south of 1770 Benjamin Franklin Dr. - Oct. 27th
During each phase, the water will be shut off for approximately
four hours. While the water is turned off, public works
crews will replace multiple valves within the water distribution
system. The valves must be replaced periodically due to
age and deterioration. The boil water advisory will be
issued when the water is shut off. Typically, such advisories
are in effect for two days while bacteriological tests
are conducted. Once satisfactory test results are received,
a rescission notice will be issued, lifting the boil water
advisory.
Many customers will be impacted more than once during
the four phases. To give those customers a respite from
the inconvenience, the water shutdowns will be staggered
every other week. Door hangers will be placed in the impacted
areas reminding people of the upcoming water shutoff and
boil water advisory.
