Mandatory Public Notice to Boil Water

Due to a large water line break, and the lack of water pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water system (City of Italy PWS ID # 0700028) to notify customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption.

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.

We apologize for the inconvenience, we are dealing with the matter as quickly and effectively as possible, Thank you. If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact City Hall at 972-483-7329, Brad Chambers at 972-483-6212 or TCEQ at 512-239-4691.

THIS NOTICE APPLIES TO ALL CITY RESIDENTS
