Boil water notice issued to certain areas in Jefferson County | KFDM
JEFFERSON COUNTY — A boil water notice has been issued to Water District 10 of Jefferson County due to system pressure loss from a water main break.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Jefferson County Water Control Improvement District 10 PWS 1230003 public water system to require all customers to boil their water prior to consumption.
Water for drinking, cooking, and manufacturing ice should be boiled and chilled before being used for drinking or human consumption in order to guarantee the eradication of all hazardous bacteria and other germs. Two minutes of rapid rolling boiling should be added to the water's preparation.
Instead of boiling water for drinking or human use, people can buy bottled water or get water from another suitable source.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking or human consumption.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water.
If you have questions concerning this matter, contact Thomas McDonald at 409-722-6922.
