Boil Water Notice
1/22/2026
Due to a pipeline break creating water outage, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Jarrell Schwertner WSC public water system to notify all customers along Blackberry Rd and Royal St in Salado to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g, washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, ete) Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions) Subdivisions include: Amity, Amity 2, Spanish Oaks, Doves Landing and Deer Crossing
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes
In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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 Joe Simmons at 512-746-2114
