Lindale boil water notice rescinded

LINDALE — (UPDATE) – The City of Lindale is rescinding the boil water notice for the customers on Pine Dr from 17386 Pine Dr to 17679 Pine Dr. Due to a water main break, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality  required the City of Lindale public water system to notify residents on Pine Dr from 17386 Pine Dr to 17679 Pine Dr to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Rusk Rural Water Supply also issued a boil water notice due to a Tuesday main line leak.

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 Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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 questions concerning this matter, you may contact City of Lindale Water Utilities at (903) 882-4948 or after hours number (903)882-3313.
