City of Victoria Issues Boil-Water Notice After Chlorine Drop

crossroadstoday.com · last updated

VICTORIA, Texas — The City of Victoria has issued a citywide boil-water notice after routine testing revealed low chlorine levels in the water supply.

City officials say the notice is being issued out of an abundance of caution and is not related to recent flooding. According to the city, the drop in chlorine levels is due to a combination of high temperatures and reduced water usage.

Residents are advised to bring all water intended for drinking, cooking, or making ice to a vigorous rolling boil for at least two minutes before use. The city also recommends using boiled or bottled water for brushing teeth. Showering and bathing is okay as long as the water does not get in your eyes, nose or mouth.

Officials will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
