BOIL WATER NOTICE FOR COMMUNITY PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM
04/28/2023 -05/2/2023
Due to WATER MAIN REPAIR AND LOSS OF WATER PRESSURE, on Karnes St., between St. Mary’s St. to
Pettus St. This is the 300 and 400 blocks of Karnes St. The Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality has required the CITY OF KENEDY, PWS 1280002 public water system to
notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing
teeth, drinking, etc.). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are
particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions.
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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to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 Joe Hernandez at (303 W. Main,
(830)583-2230 or (830)583-3217).
The public water system customers and the executive director shall be able to reach the public
water system at one of the numbers listed in this notice. If a customer, individual, or employee
