Paxton Water Supply Public Notice to Boil Water Removed

(Update) November 21, 2016 - It is no longer necessary for customers on Paxton Water that were without water on HWY 84 on November 16, 2016 to boil their water.


November 16, 2016 - Due to line break, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water System, Paxton Water, to notify customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption. This is for the customers that were out of water on November 16, 2016 on HWY 84 east of the water plant and surrounding county roads.

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other
suitable source.

When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the water system officials will notify you that the water is safe for consumption. Instructions to discontinue boiling will be issued in the same manner as this notice.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, you may contact

Vince Di Verdi at 936-590-9177 or 936-332-7683.
