Date:         April 2, 2026 To:             Woodlawn Water Utilities Customers (Public Water System ID # TX0030029) Subject:     BOIL WATER NOTIFICATION Due to low water pressures in the water distribution system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the Woodlawn Water Utilities public water system (PWS ID Number TX0030029) to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.).

Upcoming Repair Activities Woodlawn Water Utilities

Woodlawn Water Utilities – Repairs & Upgrades March 27, 2026 Re: Improvements to the water system Dear Woodlawn Water Customer: The Angelina & Neches River Authority (Authority) is reaching out to keep you informed about important infrastructure improvements that are being made to the water that are designed to enhance the reliability and quality of your utility service. Completed Improvements Since the transfer of the water system on September 1, 2025, the Authority has installed electronic monitoring systems on water plant #1 and water plant #2 that gives us the ability to remotely monitor water plant operations as well as changes in the system on an ongoing basis. These electronic monitoring systems allow us to be proactive in solving potential problems and outages before they happen. In addition to the monitoring systems, the Authority has located, repaired or replaced several isolation valves and flush valves in the distribution system. These additional valves will reduce the number of customers affected by water service interruptions moving forward when repairs are needed. A section of water line and valves were replaced in Lancewood Circle at the site where numerous leaks have occurred in recent years. As required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Authority plugged and capped the water wells located at water plant #1 and water plant #2. These wells were inoperable for several years and were deemed to be unsalvageable by a licensed well driller. Upcoming Improvements As we continue to work through the list of capital repairs and infrastructure upgrades identified following consolidation of the water system into the Authority, you will notice our crews and contractor making point repairs throughout the water system over the next weeks and months. They include additional isolation valve installations, replacement of select water line segments, water meter relocations, and removal of […]
