Boil Water Notice to Remain in Effect until at least Jan. 8 Following Princess Anne Road Utility Construction Damage
​The Virginia Beach Department of Public Utilities advises that a boil water notice is immediately in effect for the following in the Princess Anne Road area: Tidewater Community College – Virginia Beach Campus, ODU/NSU Virginia Beach Higher Education Center, Landstown Elementary School, Landstown Middle School, Landstown High School, LifeNet Health, SPSA Landstown Transfer Station, and Sentara Princess Anne General Hospital. This boil water notice will remain in effect until at least 9 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 8. The department is currently collecting and testing water samples from the affected area's water distribution system to ensure the water is safe to drink.
Addresses specifically affected by the notice include:
- 1700 College Crescent
- 1825 Concert Drive
- 1864 Concert Drive
- 1881 Concert Drive
- 2001 Concert Drive
- 2204 Recreation Drive
- 2212 Recreation Drive
- 2025 Glen Mitchell Drive>
Addresses include all suites. The department will issue an update tomorrow after the first 24 hours of water sample testing are completed. All water samples collected must meet state and federal drinking water standards before the "boil water" notice can be lifted.
Earlier today, contractor work in the vicinity of Princess Anne Road and S Independence Boulevard resulted in damage to a water valve. The Department of Public Utilities responded to isolate the damaged valve.
The department would like to thank the affected businesses for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
IMPORTANT: Boil Water Instructions:
When water service is restored, please flush all cold-water faucets for approximately 2-3 minutes. Before drinking water from the city's public water system, bring the water to a rolling boil for approximately one minute. This will help destroy bacteria that may have contaminated the drinking water. Caution: Use extreme caution with boiling water to avoid burns. Allow the water to cool before using.
Hot tap water is not a substitute for boiling water. Water from a water heater is not intended for drinking.
Additionally, if your freezer has an automatic icemaker, discard all the ice cubes and turn off the icemaker until the "boil water" notice is lifted.
