ELGIN, Texas — Aqua Water Supply Corporation (Aqua WSC) customers in certain areas of Elgin are no longer asked to boil their water prior to consumption as of Thursday.
The affected area included North Elgin west of Highway 95 and West Elgin north of U.S. 290.
Aqua WSC said at approximately 5 a.m. on Tuesday, June 1, portions of the Aqua Water Supply system experienced low pressure because of a water main break. That loss of pressure may have allowed harmful microbes into the water system.
Aqua WSC previously said once repairs were complete and the system was restored to normal operating conditions, the system would be flushed with chlorinated water.
To ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, Aqua WSC said customers in the affected area should have boiled water for drinking, cooking and ice making prior to consumption.
