Ever wondered why a fire hydrant might be open with water flowing down the street? It’s usually not an emergency — it’s part of essential maintenance to keep your water safe and clean. Water districts flush lines for several important reasons, including improving water quality and maintaining infrastructure.
Stay informed. Stay safe. Share the PSA!
Flushing of the District’s water lines will be performed Monday, April 28th through Friday, May 2nd.
We have received some concerns about boiling water.
During adverse weather conditions, public water systems may experience power outages. Loss of power at water plants can cause equipment failures and loss of water pressure. The TCEQ requires systems to issue a boil water notice if pressure drops below 20 psi and if disinfectant residual cannot be maintained. Boil water notices are a precautionary practice to protect public health and are temporary. Once public water system officials conduct repairs and or restore pressure and appropriate samples have been collected, the boil water notice can be lifted.
Rest assured, at this time, there is NO need to boil your water.
