Water boil notice issued for Hill Country after deadly flood

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — A water boil notice is in effect for the Hill Country after deadly weekend floods over the 4th of July weekend.

The Texas Water Company put the notice in place, and the hope is that it will be lifted by Wednesday.

Until then, you might see cloudy or discolored water coming from your faucet. To avoid health issues, you are urged to bring water to a full boil for two minutes if the water is planned for drinking, cooking or any other application that could mean ingestion.

Officials say the water boil notice is primarily a precaution.

Work is being done to restore the quality of the water, and that includes collecting samples of the water in and around the Guadalupe River that experienced devastating floods on the morning of July 4.

The following areas are currently under the water boil notice:

Canyon Lake Acres, Canyon Lake Island, Canyon Lake Shores, Cascada at Canyon Lake, Enclave subdivision, Comal Hills, Cougar Ridge, Deer River, Devils Backbone Heights, Glenmare, Hancock Canyon, Hancock Oaks Hills, Hancock, Hillcrest Estates, Lake of the Hills, Lakewood Hills, Mystic Bluff, Mystic Shores, North Lake Estates, Rancho Del Lago West, Rocky Creek Ranch, RCM-Cypress Lake Gardens, RCM-Rebecca Creek Estates, RCM-Rebecca Creek Park, RCM-Springs @ Rebecca Creek, Scenic Terrace, Stallion Estates, Stallion Springs, The Summit @ Fischer, Summit North, Serenity Oaks, Tamarack Shores, Tanglewood Shores, The Point, and The Cedars.
