Residents in this area will not have water for a few hours while crews carry out their work. After repairs are finished, this community will be under a boil water notice.
“To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, brushing teeth, 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,” city officials said.
The water can still be used to shower, to do laundry and wash dishes. People may also buy water bottles to drink and use at home.
The city of Freeport said they will inform residents when the boil water notice has been lifted.
If you have any questions about the repairs, you can call city hall at 979-233-3526.
