Boil Water Notice – System Update
We are pleased to report that chlorine residual levels are now within acceptable range throughout the distribution system. Water samples have been collected and are currently being transported to the laboratory in Corpus Christi for testing.
Once the laboratory receives the samples, results are expected within approximately 24 hours. We will notify all residents immediately once the results are available.
The Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until we receive confirmation that the water meets all regulatory standards.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Dear Residents,
We would like to provide an update regarding the current Boil Water Notice.
At this time, our crews are continuing to flush the water system in order to restore adequate chlorine levels throughout the distribution system. The notice will remain in effect until sufficient disinfectant levels are achieved system-wide.
What this means for you:
- The water is safe for bathing, washing, and general household use.
- In accordance with TCEQ requirements, water used for consumption or ingestion must be boiled until the Boil Water Notice is rescinded. This includes drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and making ice.
How you can help:
- Normal water usage, such as running faucets and routine household activities, helps move chlorinated water through the system and assists in restoring proper disinfectant levels more quickly.
We are actively monitoring chlorine levels and will lift the Boil Water Notice as soon as all regulatory requirements are met and the system is confirmed safe for consumption. An alert will be sent to notify residents immediately once the notice is lifted.
For your awareness, the Boil Water Notice was issued on April 16 at approximately 7:00 PM. On April 20, bacteriological samples were collected from multiple locations within the distribution system (702 Sanctuary Lane, 2840 Harrison, and 705 Monroe). All samples returned absent of bacteria, indicating no bacteriological contamination.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at 361-920-1396.
Sincerely,
Port O’Connor Improvement District
