Boca Raton officials issued a ‘no swim’ advisory for Lake Boca and adjacent waters after a wastewater leak was discovered, necessitating testing.
According to a statement from the city, a wastewater spill into Camino Real, connected to the Intracoastal Waterway, occurred just northwest of the Boca Raton Resort property. As a result, the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County issued a health alert, no swim advisory, and no irrigation order from these waterways to residents and visitors near the area. Drinking water is not affected.
“Until further information is known regarding possible bacterial contamination, residents and visitors in the area are urged to take precautions when in contact with the above waterways, including Lake Boca,” the statement said.
The city was coordinating testing and cleanup actions with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Water samples have been taken, and “it is hoped normal activities may resume within the next 24 to 48 hours,” according to the statement.
