Passing info for boil water notice on.
(Austin)— Austin Water has issued a city-wide boil water notice for all
customers of Austin Water. The notice is being issued as the utility works to
stabilize the water treatment system. Historic flood waters flowing into our
water supply lakes contain very high levels of silt that makes it challenging
for the water plants to produce the volume of water needed to supply customers
at this time. The high level of debris, silt and mud requires extended
filtration that slows the process of getting treated water in to the system. To
provide necessary water pressure for fire protection, plants must distribute
water at treatment levels not typical of the utility’s high standards for
consumption. To ensure that water is safe, customers are asked to boil water
used for drinking, cooking or ice until further notice. It’s important to note
that there have been no positive tests for bacterial infiltration of the system
at this time.
