Subject: BOIL WATER NOTIFICATION
On Thursday, March 26, 2020, at approximately 9:00 a.m., Holmwood Utilities experienced a break in a water main that caused interruption of water service. This interruption of service affects the entire water system. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required Holmwood Utilities (PWS ID Number 1210020) to notify all customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption.
Water utility crews are on site making repairs to the water main. ANRA estimate repairs to be complete and water service restored by mid-afternoon, Thursday, March 26, 2020. The boil-water notice will remain in effect until water samples have been collected, tested, and indicate there is no harmful bacteria in the water.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to consumption. 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 other suitable sources. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, 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 regarding this matter you may contact Mr. Chris Key, Operations Division Manager, Angelina & Neches River Authority at (936) 632-7795 or (800) 282-5634
