A water main break has hampered drinking water pressure for beachside Brevard residents between the Eau Gallie and Pineda Causeways, Melbourne City Manager Michael McNees said.

The water main became dislodged while crews were performing repairs after a car struck a fire hydrant, McNees said.

The city has also advised residents to boil water, according to a release. This applies to water used for:

- Drinking

- Cooking

- Making ice

- Brushing teeth

- Washing dishes

A rolling boil of one minute is recommended.

The city will conduct a survey on Friday to determine the quality of the water. Residents are urged to continue boiling water until the results of that survey are released.
