Boil Water Notice Rescinded

September 10, 2024

On September 05, 2024, the Texas commission of Environmental Quality required the City of Freeport public water system, TX0200005, to issue a boil water notice to inform customers, individuals, or employees that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of September 10, 2024.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Freeport City Hall at 979-233-3526 or Veolia at 979-233-4281.
