City of Aledo Issues Boil Water Notice Following Water Main Break
ALEDO, TX – Due to a major water main break that resulted in a loss of water along Bailey Ranch Rd. near Champions Drive, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the City of Aledo Public Water System (TX1840001) to notify all customers within the affected area (shown on the attached map) to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g. washing hands/ face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.) Children, seniors and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all affected customers should follow these directions.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water used for drinking, cooking and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.
In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact: Travis Askins, Director of Public Works, City of Aledo, at [email protected] or 682-201-4638.
