Manatee County issues boil-water notice for sheriff’s office address

Manatee County Utilities Department has issued a precautionary boil-water notice for 600 US 301 Blvd W in Bradenton, the county address for the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

The county says the notice is a precautionary measure and tells customers to boil water used for drinking or cooking for one minute, or use bottled water instead.

According to the county, the notice will remain in effect until bacteriological testing shows the water is safe again. The county says that process usually takes 24 to 48 hours.

A county bulletin says a rescission notice will be posted once the advisory is lifted.

The address match was confirmed by county and state records identifying 600 US 301 Blvd W as the sheriff’s office location. No additional details about the cause of the notice were included in the sources reviewed.

This is a local service alert rather than a broader outage report, but it affects a county law-enforcement facility and is relevant to anyone using water at that address.
