BWN-Rescinded-to-CHU-Customers-2025-10-07WATER LEAK & BOIL WATER ADVISORY
Friday, October 3
7:00 p.m.
Attention Central Heights Utilities:
Due to a contractor hitting one of our water lines, there is a major active water leak. ANRA crews are en route to make the repair. The affected area is FM 698 from Highway 259 West to the end of the system. Customers within the affected area should expect a water outage for the next few hours and then a Boil Water Advisory will be in place once service is restored.
We apologize for this inconvenience. Please see the notice below.
Due to a water main break, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the Central Heights Utilities public water system (PWS ID Number TX1740008) 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, Central Heights 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 Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, Central Heights Utilities will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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 Mr. Jeremiah Poling, Deputy General Manager, Angelina & Neches River Authority at (936) 632-7795 or (800) 282-5634.

On Sept 5, 2025, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required the Woodlawn Water Utilities public water system (PWS ID Number TX0030029) to issue a Boil Water Notice to inform customers, individuals, or employees that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Woodlawn Water Utilities has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by Woodlawn Water Utilities used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of Sept 10, 2025.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Mr. Jeremiah Poling, Deputy General Manager, Angelina & Neches River Authority at (936) 632-7795 or (800) 282-5634.
3:45 p.m. Update
The leak repair has been completed and our crews are now opening valves back up and beginning to flush the lines.
You should begin seeing water pressures returning to normal very soon, but they will likely fluctuate for a while flushing is going on.
Even with flushing, there is likely to be a lot of air remaining in the lines. This will make the water appear milky or discolored over the coming days.
A BOIL WATER NOTICE has been issued for the portion of the system west of Jack Creek. (Please see map below). If you have been without water or experienced low water pressure over the past 24 hours, you are on the affected portion of the system.
When flushing is complete, water quality samples will be collected and sent to the lab for testing. Once we have the lab results confirming that the water is safe, the boil water notice will be rescinded. We anticipate having those results around Tuesday of next week.
The leak was discovered in a small creek bed, which is why it was difficult to locate. Unfortunately, much of the Woodlawn distribution system utilizes asbestos cement pipe, which has a life expectancy of 30-40 years, and since it was likely installed when the system was first built in the 60s, it has surpassed it’s life expectancy and the system is likely to experience more issues in the near future. Asbestos cement pipe was prohibited for use in public water systems in the 1980s. ANRA will soon begin to evaluate the system for future improvements.
We apologize again for the inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience and understanding as we have completed the repair.
