Boil Water Notice (December 13, 2021)

To: Holmwood Utilities Customers (Public Water System ID # 1210020)
Subject: BOIL WATER NOTIFICATION

Due to scheduled construction activities that resulted in low water pressures , the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the Holmwood Utilities public water system (PWS ID Number 1210020) 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, Holmwood Utilities officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking or human consumption purposes. Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, Holmwood Utilities will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.

If you have questions regarding this matter you may contact Mr. Chris Key, P.E., Operations Division Manager, Angelina & Neches River Authority at (936) 632-7795 or (800) 282-5634.

If you wish to contact TCEQ, you may call 512-239-4691.

Water line break (August 9, 2021)

Update 5pm:

Repairs have been completed and we have begun re-pressurizing the system. You should begin seeing an increase in water pressure soon if you have not already. The boil water notice remains in effect until we can verify the safety of the water.

Update 3pm:

The break in the water main has been located, and repairs are in progress. We anticipate service restoration before 6pm.

Original post:

On the morning of August 9th at approximately 8:30am, a water main break caused the Holmwood Utilities Water System to dewater. Crews are in route to investigate the cause of the issue and begin whatever repairs are needed.

A boil water notice has been issued (see the post below this one), and will remain in effect until service can be fully restored and we can ensure that the water is safe for human consumption.

We will provide updates here, on our social media page, and through our text messaging notification system (see second post below this one) as we know more.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make the necessary repairs.
