SANFORD, Fla. — The portion of Sanford under a boil water notice after the city experienced a water main break on Friday at College Road near East Lake Mary Boulevard has been lifted, says city officials.

The boil water notice was issued for residents in "the Sanford service area bound on the north by East Airport Blvd, on the east by Orlando-Sanford International Airport, on the south by Seminole State College, and on the west by Groveview Village subdivision," according to the release. 

The city said residents no longer need to boil their water and use bottled water. 

Residents earlier were advised to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, and washing dishes.
