Public Notice to Boil Water to the customers that live on the Peninsula of FM-3186 and any other customers in this area that experienced a water outage during this time.
Due to reasons beyond our control (mechanical failure at the Idlewilde plant site) on Saturday, May 31, 2025, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality TCEQ) has required our water system, Onalaska Water Supply 1870009, to notify ALL CUSTOMERS LOCATED ON THE PENINSULA OF FM-3186 AND ANY OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THIS AREA THAT EXPERIENCED A WATER OUTAGE DURING THIS TIME, 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.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Sidney L. Chance Jr., General Manager at 936-646-5393.
