Groesbeck Boil Water Notice: Ridgewood Park customers only

Due to a service interruption caused by a new line connection, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the City of Groesbeck public water system to notify all customers affected by the service interruption 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 affected customers should follow these directions. The affected customers are located in the Ridgewood Park subdivision only.  

To ensure the 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescind the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Public Works Assistant Director Jason Williams at 254-729-3293.
