Due to a contractor causing a major water outage in the Indian Harbor Subdivision, East Cedar Creek FWSD is issuing a boil water notice.

TO ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and for making ice 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 suitable source. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the water company will notify you.

If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact our office at 903-887-7103 or after hours at 903-887-7200.
