Boil Water Advisories
If we have an Active Boil Water Advisory, it will be listed below.
Due to the reasons stated below, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the system to notify some customers of the need 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.
The affected areas are described below.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water used 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 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 Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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 John A. Owens at 936-544-2986. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Winter Storm Alert
January 23, 2026
Consolidated is working with mutual aid partners, utility providers and emergency services to mitigate service interruptions due to severe weather. For the January 23 – 27 winter weather, we anticipate increased call volumes, reduced system pressures and increased technician response times due to hazardous road conditions. Please take precautionary measures to protect plumbing.
Before the hard freeze
- Locate your meter and isolation valves so you know how to shut your water off in the case of a leak.
- Keep the lid on your meter box closed to protect the meter from freezing conditions.
- Protect plumbing by insulating pipes in attics, garages, and under pier and beam homes.
- Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. Shutoff and drain water to unused exterior faucets, if possible. Otherwise, insulate the faucet or any above-ground fixtures. Insulating your meter box with old towels, feed sacks, etc. is permitted, but you must remove the insulation as soon as freezing conditions pass to avoid meter damage and interference with meter communication.
- Unoccupied meters/properties: Consider shutting off at the meter and draining the water lines of vacant houses, churches or deer leases.
During the hard freeze, open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing. If hard freeze conditions are expected, consider dripping interior faucets. The rate of flow needed to prevent bursting will depend on your plumbing type, pipe location and weather severity. If possible, monitor your plumbing routinely during the hard-freeze event.
When safe to do so, check the meters of elderly neighbors and unoccupied properties for leaks (deer leases, pastures, vacation rentals, churches, etc.). Leaks at churches and vacant meters were the primary source of outages for Consolidated members during Winter Storm Uri.
Outage Reporting: During severe weather, system pressures may be reduced proactively to conserve water or inadvertently due to increased customer demand from running faucets, customer leaks, or system leaks.
If you experience a water outage
- Check your meter. If the red dial is spinning clockwise when all fixtures are off, there’s a leak on your side.
- Check individual fixtures of your home to determine if a section of your plumbing has frozen.
- Check with neighbors to see if the problem is isolated to your plumbing.
- If the problem is not on your side of the meter, call the main office at 936-544-2986 to report an outage. This number is monitored 24/7 by system staff or an after-hours answering service.
