JACKSONVILLE – An area southeast of Jacksonville is under a do not use water notice. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has instructed Craft-Turney Water Supply to issue the notice. This means humans as well as animals should not use the water for any reason. The service area affected includes the south side of Loop 456 on the north boundary, County Roads 1615 and 1616 (including US 69 South) on the west boundary, State Highway 204 on the east boundary and Farm Road 768 on the south boundary. The state agency says an unknown contaminant has been found in the water. Some customers have reported a “very odd odor” coming from the water. Some have even reported skin and eye irritation.
