WEBB COUNTY, Tex. (KGNS) — Residents of Rio Bravo and El Cenizo are dealing with water issues Sunday morning.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required The Webb County Utilities to put a boil water notice in place.

According to a release, the notice comes after a water line break caused a water outage. Both cities of Rio Bravo and El Cenizo’s water comes from the county’ system.

Rio Bravo officials are urging residents to boil their water before consumption. Especially cooking, drinking and ice making. Over in El Cenizo, officials say their city has no water.

It has not been said when the break is expected to be fixed. New water samples are expected to be collected Sunday afternoon.

In the meantime, residents can fill up their water jugs in El Cenizo at the entrance of Rios and Espejo Molina. A second water tank is located at the corner of El Cenizo Community Center as well.
