According to a notice from the provider, "due to conditions which have occurred recently in the water system, TCEQ has required the system to notify all customers to boil water prior to consumption. To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking cooking and ice-making should be boiled and prior to consumption.

"The water should be brought to a vigorous boil, then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable resource."
