Gonzalez Utilities Issues Boil Water Notice In Tate Road Area

June 7, 2019

Gonzalez Utilities has issued a precautionary boil water notice due to a water main break.

The boil water advisory is for Tate Road, Archer Road, Petty Drive and Woodfield Drive.

Water was turned off in the area to repair a water main break on Tate Road. At noon Friday, the utility was working to make repairs and restore water service.

Precautionary boil water notices are issued as a part of the standard protocol following any loss of water pressure, whether as a result of planned maintenance activities or unscheduled repairs.

Residents located in the specified PBWN area are advised to boil water for one minute at a rolling boil or to use eight drops of regular unscented household bleach per gallon of water, for water to be used for drinking or cooking purposes.  Two independent bacteriological samples have been initiated and the advisory will be lifted as soon as possible. This process routinely takes 48 hours.

    I called Gonzalez Utilities this morning and was told that they are doing water testing, and it could possibly be Wednesday before it is lifted. I was thinking the 48 hours started Friday when this was announced, but apparently the clock starts now that they are back in the office…

    >>Has this been lifted yet?

    We haven not received any word that it has been lifted. It usually take a few days for the testing.
