Hialeah’s Public Works department suggests that “in an abundance of caution” residents boil water for a minimum of one minute for any water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth. The city did not say why tests of the water led to the order on Friday but, like much of South Florida, the area was inundated with floods after steady rains from a tropical system that settled over the area on Tuesday and continued on Saturday.

Hialeah’s department of public works can be reached during business hours at 305-556-3800.

European lynx species rebounds from brink of extinction
A species of lynx found in remote areas of Spain and Portugal has rebounded from near extinction, with its adult population growing more than tenfold since the start of the millennium. Wildlife experts are calling the recovery of the Iberian Lynx unparalleled among felines in an age of extinction in which species are vanishing at a rate not seen in 10 million years due to climate change, pollution and habitat loss. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, which categorises species according to the level of risk they face in a "Red List" produced several times a year, bumped up the Iberian Lynx from "endangered" to "vulnerable" on Thursday.
