Woodlawn Water Utilities Water Leak Update

Water Leak Update Friday, September 5, 2025 8:00 a.m. Good morning Woodlawn Water Customers! We have ALL hands on deck this morning to locate and repair the water leak, including all of ANRA’s field operations staff, plus contract crews. The water tanks did refill overnight, which is good, so most of you should have at least some water pressure. However, as we go through the process of elimination to locate the leak(s), there may be times where you may experience no water, since we will be turning on and off different valves throughout the system to find the leak. Also, out of precaution, we WILL be issuing an official BOIL WATER ADVISORY for the system. That advisory will be issued via TCEQ shortly, but until then, go ahead and BOIL WATER BEFORE USE. If you are aware of any leaks in the system, PLEASE contact our office at 936-632-7795.

Boil Water Notice Issued for Prairie Grove Utilities

Boil Water Notice Issued for Prairie Grove Utilities Saturday, July 19, 2025 Due to low water pressures in the water distribution system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the Prairie Grove Utilities public water system (PWS ID Number TX0030027) 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, Prairie Grove 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 Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, Prairie Grove Utilities will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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.
