Low Pressure Event, Torch Keys 3.11.26

At approximately 8:00PM on March 11th a low-pressure event occurred due to a power outage affecting the Long Key Pump Station.

During this power outage our transmission main monitoring system detected a drop in pressure below 20 psi for a few seconds at the suction-side of the Ramrod Transmission Pump Station. In an abundance of caution, we presume the low-pressure event affected, Little Torch Key, Middle Torch Key and Big Torch Key. As a result, a Precautionary Boil Water Notice (PBWN) has been issued to these areas, including the following critical facilities. This PBWN will be in effect until noon on Friday, March 13th.

• Kiki’s Sandbar
• Little Palm Island Guest Center
• Parmer’s Resort (Food & Beverage)
