Water Main Break at Harn Boulevard and US 19 Triggers Boil-Water Order for Clearwater's Bay Esplanade

Clearwater residents are experiencing disruptions following a water main break at the intersection of Harn Boulevard and the U.S. 19 frontage road. Crews have been on-site since September 21, working to repair the damage and restore normal service to the affected area.

The break prompted city officials to issue a precautionary boil-water order for specific addresses on Bay Esplanade. This measure ensures public safety by advising residents to boil water before consumption, as a safeguard against potential contamination during the repair process.

The addresses under the boil-water order include 1010, 1015, 1018, 1021, and 1031 Bay Esplanade. Residents in these homes should continue to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and making ice until further notice from the city.

While repairs are actively underway, the exact timeline for resolution remains unclear. Residents in the affected areas should monitor official city communications for updates on when the boil-water order will be lifted and when full water service is expected to be restored.
