The City of Bangs has issued a boil water notice to all residents until further notice.
City Manager Leo Smith tells us that an electrical issue has resulted in failure of the town's water pumps, so there is no water pressure in the city.
The city is working to restore power to the water supply.
Below is the standard wording for a Boil Water Notice from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality:
Public Notice to Boil Water Due to (1), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water system (2) to notify customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption. To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. 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, the water system officials will notify you that the water is safe for consumption. Instructions to discontinue boiling will be issued in the same manner as this notice. If a customer wishes to contact the TCEQ, they may call 512-239-4691.
