Residents in parts of Neches are under a boil water advisory.

The Neches Water Supply Corporation customers north of Anderson County Road 342 are under the advisory.

Due to conditions in the Neches Water Supply water system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption.

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking cooking and ice making should be boiled to consumption.

The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source. When it is no longer necessary to boil water, water system officials will notify you.

If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact Dianne at Neches Water Supply, 903-584-3316.
