The Island Water Association has rescinded the boil water notice for Sanibel and Captiva Islands that has been in place since Hurricane Ian.

According to the water association, the water is now safe to drink after the system was flushed and tested for harmful bacteria.

There are areas that remain under the boil water notice due to low water pressure. The Island Water Association says services within the Caloosa Shores Association remain under the boil water notice. You can see that area on the map above.

The Upper Captiva Fire and Rescue district says there is still a boil water notice for that area as well. They say their water still needs to be tested by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
