Boil Water Alert Issued for Nacogdoches Residents

A boil water notice has been issued for a section of Nacogdoches, Texas, affecting residents south of Main Street and west of Press Road. This notice comes after a water line break occurred near the intersection of Hollywood Street and Lenwood Drive. The break resulted in a loss of water pressure and subsequent outages for many customers.

Water utilities crews have been working diligently to isolate the problem and restore normal water pressure to the affected areas. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has mandated this precautionary measure to ensure public health and safety. Residents are instructed to boil water for all consumption purposes, including drinking and cooking, until further notice.

Residents are recommended to bring water to a rolling boil for a minimum of two minutes before use, or opt for bottled water as a safer alternative. The boil water notice will remain in effect until testing confirms the water is safe for consumption. For inquiries, residents can contact the Nacogdoches Water Utilities Department.
