The City of Punta Gorda is assuring residents there is no boil water notice in effect despite the taste and odor issues.

According to the City of Punta Gorda Government, the issues are due to the dry conditions and high temperatures affecting the water’s taste and smell.

The issue is said to be purely aesthetic in nature and does not pose a health risk to the public.

Punta Gorda is closely monitoring the issue and taking steps to address the issue. One action Punta Gorda officials are taking is increased flushing throughout the city.

If you have any questions call the City of Punta Gorda Utilities Department at 941-639-2057.
