***Boil Water Notice***

Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems

May 6, 2026

Due to a main service line repair, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the

City of Shoreacres, public water system 1010207, to notify certain 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to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 LaWanda Weiss at (832) 942-1041.
