City issues boil notice to portions of San Marcos

The City of San Marcos Water/Wastewater Utilities offices issued a precautionary boil water notice on Thursday to a portion of south San Marcos. 

The boil notice affects the following areas: 3830-4300 South Interstate 35 — Bill Miller to the Honda Dealership — 690 Centerpoint, 4211 Gregson’s Bend, and 625 Commercial Loop on the west side of I-35.

On the east side, 3939-4331 South I-35 —both sides of the outlets — and 1020 Centerpoint  are affected.

The city said it plans to receive water quality test results by Friday at 12 p.m. at which point the notice will be lifted. 

“To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking and ice making can be boiled and cooled prior to consumption,” the city said in a social media post. “The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may wish to purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source.”

Any questions regarding the boil notice can be directed to the city’s water/wastewater utilities office at 512-393-8010.
