According to the City of Fort Worth, residents who live along Farnsworth Avenue between Horne and Prevost streets in Fort Worth’s Como neighborhood are advised to boil their water until further notice.
The advisory was issued on Saturday as a precaution after samples tested positive for coliform bacteria.
"We are issuing this notice as a precaution.
I want to err on the side of caution."
While the advisory is in effect, Fort Worth Water Department will provide bottled water for residents on the north and south sides of the 5200 to 5600 blocks of Farnsworth Avenue.
Testing was prompted after a resident complained about cloudy water on Monday.
Water was tested a second time on Friday and came back positive for the bacteria.
