LIVINGSTON, Texas – Residents in parts of Livingston are now under a boil water notice, following an advisory from the Lake Livingston Water Supply Corporation. According to information from Polk County Emergency Management, cited by KTRE, electrical repairs to the water supply system have necessitated the notice for precautionary measures.
Impacted subdivisions include Pine Shadows, Bass Bay, and several others, spanning across Alabama Point to Oaks of Livingston. Anyone living in these areas is advised to boil their water before using it for drinking, cooking, or making ice – this is to ensure the elimination of all harmful bacteria, and other microbes. The water should be boiled vigorously for two minutes before cooling and using it, as a standard safety procedure.
The specific localities have been listed in detail by FOX26 Houston as well, confirming the extent of the affected areas. In response to the advisory, residents should remain vigilant until the notice is lifted, indicated by updates from the local authorities or the water supply corporation.
Those seeking further information or clarification have been directed to contact Lake Livingston Water Supply at 936-327-3107 or their toll-free number, 800-774-9283. The boil water notice is seen as a temporary inconvenience until the completion of the necessary repairs, and maintaining such protocols is critical for public health and safety.
