Craft-Turney Boil Water Notice

JACKSONVILLE — Due to conditions which have occurred recently in the water system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Craft-Turney Water Supply system to notify all the customers involved in the repair area to boil their water prior to consumption. KETK reports the area included is Farm Road 747 South between County Roads 3211 (Earle’s Chapel Rd.) and 3206, including both county roads.

Officials say to ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to consumption. 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, water system officials say they will notify customers.
