Boil water for at least one minute before using, to kill harmful bacteria
Boil your water in Cape Coral
You must boil all water that you use until further notice. That means for cooking, drinking and even brushing your teeth. Boil the water you give to your pets as well. To make sure your water is safe, bring a pot of water to a boil, a rapid boil. Let it stay that way for at least one minute. Then let it cool. The heat will kill the harmful bacteria.
If you need to wash dishes, add 8 drops, about 1/8 teaspoon, of unscented household beach per gallon of water. Same holds true if you must wash a load of laundry.
Taking a shower? Keep your mouth closed.
Turn your ice maker off so it wont produce more during this time where water quality is uncertain.
Restaurants have to do the same thing before serving food.
Can’t boil water? Go for the bottles.
Many stores are restricting the amount of water you can buy. Don’t be mad at them if you can’t get as much as you want. There are tens of thousands of people just like you, in need of safe water.
How much longer do you need to boil water in Cape Coral
The city plans for another round of tests at noon today. Until then, all of Cape Coral under boil water alert. Be sure to check back. We’ll keep you updated on the findings. In the meantime, Cape Coral officials have all of the details of the notice here.
Finally, if you feel sick, call your doctor.

10 Weird Laws In Cape Coral and Other Parts Of Florida
The state of Florida has been around since March 3, 1845. And in that time a lot of Florida weird laws have been passed that have now become very outdated. Most of these laws stay on the books and are widely ignored. There used to be a law that stated “unmarried couples may not live together and commit “lewd acts.” According to FloridaLaw, “A Florida law that banned unmarried couples from living together dating back to post-Civil War Reconstruction is no more. Gov. Rick Scott signed SB 498 which repealed a law that made it a misdemeanor “if any man and woman, not being married to each other, lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together.”
But for every one of these outdated laws that have been removed, many, many more remain. There’s a lot of Florida Weird Laws throughout the state to appreciate, but I’m going to focus on the ones that most affect us here in Southwest Florida. 2 of these are Cape Coral specific. There’s actually 11 on this list but I found another Cape Coral one after I had finished. I wasn’t going to leave it out, amiright? Maybe I should spend some more time just looking through Cape Coral laws. I’m probably only just scratching the surface.
So let’s have a look at some Florida weird laws, starting off with my favorite one because it’s Cape Coral. Personally I think this one’s an intrusion on how you want to live, but it’s on the books.
