crossroadstoday.com · last updated

VICTORIA, Texas — The City of Victoria has issued a boil water notice as of 5:33 p.m. Aug. 6.

Water boil notice identified area 8/6

The alert was posted after a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality test found low chlorine levels — 0.15 parts per million — in the area of Holt Road between Business 59 and U.S. 59 approaching Telferner. The required level is 0.2 ppm.

According to a city statement, there is no evidence of contamination outside the affected area. However, state guidelines require a citywide boil water notice out of caution.
