Due to freezing conditions and the Texas Electric Grid experiencing power outages causing the water delivery system to go below 20 PSI, the City of Alamo per Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements, is advising all its residents to boil their water prior to consumption as a precautionary measure. The City is also recommending the reduction of consumption and to conserve as much water as possible.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to consumption. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.
In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, City water system officials will notify you.
If you have questions regarding this matter you may contact Mr. Juan Vega, Chief Water Plant Operator at 956-787-2232.
If you wish to call the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, please call (512) 239-4691.
