Water outage due to power being out in the Academy Area
May 23, 2024
Due to water outage in the Academy area, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our public water system Bell-Milam-Falls WSC, PWS ID 0140007, to notify customers to boil their water prior to consumption. This affects only Bell-Milam-Falls WSC customers in the Academy area.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and for making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to consumption. 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. The rescind notice will be issued in the same manner as this Boil Water Notice.
If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact Robert Jekel at 1-800-826-4322.
If a customer wishes to reach TCEQ, they may call 512-239-4691.
