Authorities said this was found in only one well whose water had not yet been treated. City officials said that well has been shut down, pending follow-up testing.
Additional sampling from this well and from the water distribution system has begun to ensure the water is safe, officials said.
The City of Tamarac said this "precautionary boil water notice" will remain in effect through Sunday, or until a 2-day bacteriological survey shows no evidence of coliform bacteria.
