REVISIONS to BOIL WATER NOTICE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 15, 2025 @ 9:20 am

Official Issue of Boil Water Notice for Trinity Bay Conservation District

REVISION TO STREETS AFFECTED

A boil water notice has been issued for all Trinity Bay Conservation District Customers on the west side of our District on the following streets:
FM 563 from Crossover to FM 2936
FM 2936 from S. Main Street to FM 562 – including Jobe Wilson Road
S Main from Locke Road to Nelson Road
Including: Nelson Road, Moorehead Road, Garvey Road, Bay Oak Drive, Kinser Road, Scherer Road,
and Channelview Road.
Due to reduced distribution system pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Trinity Bay Conservation District - West Public Water System ID # 0360030 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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 any questions regarding this matter you may contact Trinity Bay Conservation District office at (409) 296-3602 located at 2500 SH 124 Stowell, Texas 77661, Chief Operator – Joseph Mouton (409) 277-0967.
TBCD will be collecting bacteriological samples as soon as the repair is made from the affected area. The results of these samples will be sent to our office within 24 to 48 hours.
