Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems June 22, 2019
City Utility Director Matt McAdoo uses a backhoe to start tearing off the pavement. |
Due to a water main break at the intersection of
Church and Locust, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required
the City of Clarksville public water system 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,
the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe
for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect,
the public water system 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 Matt McAdoo
with the City of Clarksville at 903-427-3834.
The Clarksville Public Works Department is currently
making repairs to the water line and should have the water restored soon to the
residents that are affected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
and appreciate your patience while we repair the water line that is affected.
The public water system customers and the executive director shall be able to
reach the public water system at one of the numbers listed in this notice.
If a customer, individual, or employee wishes to
contact the executive director, please call (512) 239-4691.
