JEA issues boil water notice for portions of Southside including Tinseltown, Town Center

JEA said E. coli bacteria were found Friday in wells on Saints Road, which is part of the water supply for the utility’s Oakridge Water Treatment Plant. The bacteria were found at a sample point before JEA’s treatment process, but the discovery prompted a boil water advisory for a swath of the city’s Southside that includes the Tinseltown and Town Center business districts and the University of North Florida.
