Update (February 4, 2017):
On February 2, 2017 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required our public water system City of Meadow, PWS ID 2230002 to issue a Boil Water Notice (BWN) to inform our customers that due to an interruption in service, water from our system must be boiled prior to consumption.
Our system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore adequate pressure, disinfectant levels, and/or bacteriological quality and has provided TCEQ with testing results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling as of February 4, 2017, 1:00 p.m.
If you have questions, contact City Hall at 806-539-2377 or Terri McClanahan at 806-548-1706

Original Story (February 2, 2017):
The City Water Department is repairing a broken line that requires the system to be shut down. We anticipate this to take approximately 2 hours (on Thursday). Once the line is repaired and water is restored to the City, residents will need to boil their water until further notice.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires the City of Meadow water system #2230002 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 City Hall at (806) 539-2377 or Terri at (806) 548-1706.
