Lake Helen issues boil water notice after E. coli detected in well

Thank you. So in Volusia County, if you live in Lake Helen, you need to boil your water because E. Coli could be in it. Now the city is handing up bottled water to folks who live there and Fox 35 Chris Lindsey joins us live from one of those sites right now, Chris, tell us what we know about the city's water right now. Well, I spoke with a city commissioner who says so far no one has gotten sick, but they issued that boil notice to make sure it stays that way. A lot of people have been sick, city staff have been handing out cases of water for people to use until they get things sorted out. The well that had the issue has been taken offline. For now. Today we watched his dozens of people stopped by here on Lakeview Drive to pick up water bottles. What was your level of concern when you heard about what was going on? It was. It was. It was high. Um but I figured that the city was handling it. This is. This is invaluable. We can we can really use this. They'll continue to run tests over the next couple of days before they decide how to move forward again. There is a boil water notice here in Lake Helen. And if you need water bottles, you can pick them up for free here on Lakeview Drive up until 6 30 reporting live in Volusia County, Chris Lindsey, Fox 35 news.
