Due to a loss of water pressure, resulting from extended power outage and pump failure on February 15, 2021, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the City of Bangs to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.) Children, seniors and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria and all customers should follow these directions:

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.  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.

Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system in Bangs will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
