Boil water notice affects northern Breckenridge neighborhood, earlier notice removed
A boil water notice was issued Sunday, July 22, for the city water customers living in the area from North Live Oak Street to North Shelton Street and from West Fourth Street to the northern water customers. Effective Monday, July 23, the boil water notice issued on July 18 has been rescinded for customers in the area from Elm to Second street and from Miller to Pecan.
The notice is required because of a water line break that occurred during construction.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source.
The Boil Water Notice will be in effect for a minimum of 48 hours from when it was issued. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, officials will notify each customer directly in the affected area.
For more information, call the City Offices at 254-559-8287 or the Water Office at 254-559-7249.
