Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems
October 2, 2025
Due to a contractor hitting a water line right in front of Royal tower we are issuing a boil water notice to anyone that was experiencing very low pressure. N1 prison facility is on a boil water notice as well. If you aren’t aware of low pressure today we suggest boiling your water as a precaution too. TCEQ has required the City of Marlin PWS0730002 to notify the City of Marlin, to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., 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, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Richard CohrsSupervisor 254-883-3371
The City of Marlin Public Works Team has already addressed the issue. There was a 12 inch water main that was damaged by a contractor today and our team immediately started working on it. They completed the repair at 4:30 pm today. Reports from the water plant show pressure has been restored throughout town. Our hopes is that the Boil Water Notice will be rescinded by next Tuesday the 7th of October.
