As the area started to thaw Friday, the city of Temple joined the nearly 12 million Texans who have had disruptions to their water.
The city Friday morning issued a boil water notice for Temple residents who live east of Interstate 35. Spokeswoman Emily Parks said the notice was required after an âunexpected water main break.â
âPublic Works crews have located the break and are actively repairing the issues,â Parks said. âAn update will be provided as soon as possible when more information is known.â
Before consumption, residents need to bring their water to a vigorous rolling boil for two minutes. Residents who have questions about the notice should contact Templeâs Utility Services Department at 254-298-5611.
