Clarksville Boil Water Notice

Due to a water main break located at 1206 W. Jackson Street, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the City of Clarksville public water system to notify all customers to boil their water before 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.

To ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice-making should be boiled and cooled before being used for drinking water or human consumption. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.

Instead of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from a suitable source for drinking or human consumption purposes.

When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, public water system officials will notify customers that it is safe for drinking or human consumption purposes.

Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will tell customers that it rescinds the statement like this.
Please share this information with everyone who drinks 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 publicly or distributing copies by hand or mail.

If you have questions concerning this matter, contact Samuel Higdon with the City of Clarksville at 903-706-1126. The Clarksville Public Works Department is currently repairing the water line and should have the water restored to the affected residents soon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience while we repair the water line.
