CITY OF WILMER

BOIL WATER NOTIFICATION 

Due to conditions which have occurred recently in the water system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the system to notify customers in the area on Pleasant Run, west of Millers Ferry, including Pinto and Sunrise 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 and cooled prior 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 the water, water system officials will notify you.

If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact Mike McVea, Water Superintendent at 972-441-6373 or 972-441-3222.
