Residents of 700 Lindell Blvd., known to locals as the Lake Delray Apartments, have been hit with a precautionary boil water notice after a contractor struck a water service line in the area. The City of Delray Beach issued the warning following the incident, prompting concerns about water safety among the apartment dwellers.

To avoid the likely risk of contamination, city officials are advising residents to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes.
