Boil Water Notice for CommunityPublic WaterSystems
7-23-25
Due to repairs that were made on a line that was hit,the Texas Commissionon Environmental Quality
has required the Bell Milam Falls WSC public water system to notify all customers 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 customers should follow
these directions).
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that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, you may contact James Marek at 254-697-4016
This notice affects customers who were without water or had low water pressure off FM 431
