Boil water advisory issued for Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, other cities

The city of Fort Lauderdale has issued a boil water advisory for several area municipalities and neighborhoods after an untreated water sample at one of South Florida's water source wells tested positive for E. coli bacteria, officials said.

The order was issued late Saturday and remains in effect until further notice.

In addition to the city of Fort Lauderdale, the advisory pertains to Oakland Park, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Port Everglades Authority, Village of Sea Ranch Lakes, Wilton Manors and sections of Davie and Tamarac east of State Road 7.

The advisory will remain in effect until the state officials review and approve test results.
