SANTA ROSA – A boil water notice was put into effect in Santa Rosa.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required it due to equipment failure at the Santa Rosa Water Treatment Plant.

Water for drinking, cooking and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use, to ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes.

Treatment plant officials will send out a notification to customers when the water is safe for consumption. Anyone with questions can contact Jesus Carillo at 636-1113.
