Typically, Precautionary Boil Water Notice areas are isolated and affect only a small number of customers. In these cases, notification is provided directly to the customers.
However, there are instances when a large-scale Precautionary Boil Water Notice is issued. In these cases, where notices cannot be delivered directly to the City of Oldsmar water customers, the City will issue a Code Red Alert (reverse 911) emergency call out, along with providing information to local media and posts on the City’s web site, Facebook and Twitter pages.
