Several Central Texas water suppliers have issued boil water notices that resulted from cold weather-related leaks or service disruptions.
O&B Water Supply Corp., which provides water to the Oenaville and Belfalls areas, issued a boil water notice Feb. 17.
Bruceville-Eddy Water Department, East Bell County Water Supply Corp. and Dog Ridge Water Supply have also issued boil notices since last week.
In the Belton area, 439 Water Supply on Sunday lifted a boil notice issued on Feb. 17.
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. Water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil for two minutes.
A boil water notice issued after an outage Monday by the East Bell Water Supply Corp. has been lifted.
Customers affected by the notice live on Highway 53 west of FM 3117, including Little Flock Road, Bob White Road, Friendship Lane, Dairy Road, Lavendusky Drive and the Elm Creek subdivision (Limewood Lane, Lemonwood Lane, Little Elm Loop and Osage Lane).
âThe public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of December 16, 2020,â the supplier said in a statement.
