What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Groveland residents are currently under a boil water advisory after a software error caused pumps to shut down for approximately 30 minutes at the Sunshine Water Treatment Plant. City workers manually restarted the pumps, and officials stated that manual operation will continue until the software can be replaced. This advisory follows several other water issues this year, including a pump failure last week and a power loss in July due to a lightning strike.
