Williamson County W.S.I.D. District #3 PWS ID #TX2460152
Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems
August 5, 2022
On August 5, 2022, due to reduced water pressure below state minimums, the District has issued a precautionary boil water notice for a limited area of the District (MAP OF AFFECTED AREA – CLICK HERE). Manville WSC notified District officials of a stuck control valve affecting water pressures to limited portions of the District. Pressures have now been restored.
Due to this condition, District officials have issued a precautionary boil water advisory. Due to these conditions, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Williamson County WSIDD #3 public water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions).
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.
In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
