Ft. Lauderdale Water Problems and Does it Affect Lauderhill?

We were just notified by the City of Ft. Lauderdale, that as of this afternoon the Water Advisory has been fully lifted. Therefore, the below comments don't apply anymore.

Dear Residents of Lauderhill,

You may have read or heard about the problem with Ft. Lauderdale water recently. Please be aware that we do not use Ft. Lauderdale water, and that none of the water in the city is affected or contaminated as found in Ft. Lauderdale, including the the newly annexed Southeast area of the city (However, see the additional message below).

Mayor Kaplan

Update on the above message:

Dear Residents of Broward Estate,

As you may know, the City of Ft. Lauderdale had a water contamination problem, asking people served by them not to drink or use their water in specific areas. When they put out this information of those areas they did not include Lauderhill.

Just so you know, the City of Ft. Lauderdale does serve a small portion of the SE area of Broward Estates. Therefore, as a precaution, I recommend that if you obtain water from the City of Ft. Lauderdale, you cease its usage until we can find out more about the situation, and confirm that it is safe, or that their entire system is declared safe.

Remember, you were not in the group that was advised that there is a problem, but safety dictates that until we receive more information, it may be best not to use Ft. Lauderdale water anywhere in their system (even though there are parts that are unaffected).

This notice does not affect those areas receiving water from the City of Lauderhill or from Broward County, which is over 90% of the city.

Very Truly Yours,

Richard J. Kaplan
Mayor, City of Lauderhill
