Bottled water will be available on the campuses for drinking and cooking, the school district said. Water fountains will remain turned off at affected schools until the boil water notice is lifted.

Customers still affected by the boil water notice live at the northeast corner of State Road 46 (extended Midway area); from the west side of Millennium Middle School to E. Lake Mary Boulevard going north to Celery Avenue from Sipes Avenue to E. Lake Mary Boulevard, including Chickasaw Drive and Powhatan Drive.
