The city of Orlando has ended its water advisory, saying that wastewater repairs have progressed to the point that residents can stop limiting their water usage.
The advisory was caused by a water main break at a wastewater plant. To limit the stress on the system, officials asked residents to avoid washing dishes, doing laundry, taking showers, irrigating lawns and other water-intensive activities.
