Boil Water Notice Rescinded for Portion of Rosebud

A boil water notice issued for a portion of Rosebud has been rescinded, city officials announced, after water quality testing confirmed the water is now safe for consumption.

The notice, originally issued Aug. 6, affected only residents living east of 1st Street and south of Main Street. It was prompted by a water main leak and resulting low pressure, which raised concerns about potential bacterial contamination in the local water supply.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required the city to notify affected residents to boil water before using it for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or other human consumption. Vulnerable popula such as children, seniors, and individuals with weakened immune systems were urged to be especially cautious.

City officials said the water main has since been repaired, and flushing procedures have been completed. Samples were collected and sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. Based on the results, the TCEQ approved lifting the boil notice.

“The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water,” the city said in a statement.

Residents are no longer required to boil their water. City officials recommend sharing this information with others in the affected area, especially those who may not have received the notice directly.
