Hillsborough County has rescinded a precautionary boil water notice for 95,000 customers in the south-central portion of the county.

The county issued the warning Tuesday after a power shortage resulted in low pressure for customers and a potential for high bacteria counts. However, bacteria samples showed the water met quality standards, the county said in a news release Wednesday afternoon.

The general boundary of the impacted area was all county utility customers south of State Road 60 and east of Interstate 75.

Information is available on the county website. For questions, call the Hillsborough County Water Resources Department at (813) 744-5600.
