Public Notice to Boil Water

UPDATE:

Boil Water Notice Rescinded

Wednesday, January 17, 2024
Hays WCID 1 and Hays WCID 2

On Monday, January 15, 2024 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required our public water systems Hays WCID 1 (PWS# TX1050137) and Hays WCID 2 (PWS# TX1050148) to issue a Boil Water Notice. Due to WTCPUA experiencing a mechanical failure at the water plant during the freeze, they were unable to maintain system pressure for the Belterra subdivision.

Our system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore adequate pressure, disinfectant levels, and/or bacteriological quality and has provided TCEQ with testing results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling as of Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

If you have any further questions, please contact our Regulatory Compliance Department at (281) 367-5511.

If a customer wishes to reach TCEQ, they may call 512-239-4691.

Due to freezing temperatures a mechanical failure at the WTCPUA water plant, they were unable maintain system pressure in Belterra Subdivision. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water systems Hays WCID 1 (PWS# TX1050137) and Hays WCID 2 (PWS# TX1050148) to notify customers of the need to boil their water.

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 questions concerning this matter, you may contact John Montgomery at (281) 367-5511.
