City of Clyde under boil water notice, schools ask for children to bring water bottles

CLYDE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Citizens were instructed by the City of Clyde Sunday to boil all water before consumption due to a water main break, according to city officials.
The city announced the boil water notice after the break of a 12-inch water main was discovered, and plans to repair it were made.
Officials still estimate that city water will need to be boiled for at least one more day.
On Monday, Clyde school campuses made announcements asking parents to send their children to school Tuesday with either bottled water or water bottles to be filled with a supply of clean water the schools received Monday.
Students may bring a water bottle (with lid) to school tomorrow.
We have safe water stations set up in each hallway to fill up their bottle.
