ELMENDORF, Texas — Due to a water main break, the City of Elmendorf has been required to be under a Boil Water Notice from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Residents are asked to boil their water prior to consumption, which includes:
- Washing hands/face
- Brushing teeth
- Drinking
- Cooking
Children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to harmful bacteria, according to TCEQ.
The release states to ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then be boiled for two minutes.
Once water is no longer needed to be boiled, the public water system will issue a notice to residents.
If you have any questions, you may contact the Elmendorf Water Department Supervisor at 210-669-1270.
