Residents served by the Cockrell Hill public water system are advised to boil their water before using it, following a recent line break and subsequent drop in water pressure.
The city issued this notice on Friday afternoon in accordance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s requirements. All customers are instructed to boil water intended for consumption, including for brushing teeth, washing hands, and preparing food.
“To ensure that all harmful bacteria and other microbes are eliminated, water used for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled vigorously for two minutes and then allowed to cool,” the city stated.
Further updates will be provided once the line break is repaired, water pressure is restored, and the water is confirmed safe for consumption.
For inquiries, residents are encouraged to contact City Manager Bret Haney at 214-330-6333.
