A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for some residents in Groveland after a pump failure at the Sunshine Water Plant.

What we know:

In a social media post, the city said all of the pumps at the plant went offline just after 5 a.m. The failure caused a drop in water pressure along the Wilson Lake corridor.

Crews were on the site working to restore the pumps and get the pressure back up. By 8 a.m., service had been restored.

"The City did not have infiltration into the system that could cause a public health concern, however a precautionary boil water advisory remains in effect," the post read.
