A large portion of Broward County has been placed under a boil water order.
The order, which affects Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Pointe, Deerfield Beach and parts of Coconut Creek, comes after a lightning strike hit a water treatment plant, cutting off the water to scores of homes and businesses.
“We can’t cook, so pretty much if I was to run out of water in my pasta pot, no more pasta, no more dishes,” said Anne Marie’s Pizza and Wine Co. cook Lulu Lavena.
When the water slowed to a drizzle, the dinner hour was pretty much over at Anne Marie’s Pizza and Wine Co. in Pompano Beach.
“And, you know, we’re in the middle of the rush. Everything’s moving. We’re making to-go orders, delivery orders. We just opened Tuesday, and we’re prepping for our grand opening on Thursday, and pretty much the water just stopped working on us,” Lavena said.
County officials said lightning struck a water treatment plant handling Lighthouse Pointe and Pompano Beach, knocking off three pumps and cutting off water supplies to both cities and parts of Deerfield Beach.
