The city of Sanford is working to repair the break, but the Midway area is still under a boil water notice.

Drinking fountains on these campuses have also been disabled. The schools will have bottled water while the boil notice is in effect.

Sanford officials said customers in the greater Midway community should boil water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth and washing fruits or vegetables.
