City of Crosbyton issued the following announcement on Oct. 30.
Due to reduced pressure as a result of a power outage from an ice storm, the Texas Commission on the Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water system, the City of Crosbyton, to notify customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. 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, the water system officials will notify you that the water is safe for consumption. Instructions to discontinue boiling will be issued in the same manner as this notice.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact:
Chase Longo (public works director) @ 806-675-2301
If a customer wishes to contact the tceq, they may call 512-239-4691.
