PaulAnn Residents Can Now Boil Water for Consumption

SAN ANGELO, TX -- The City of San Angelo has officially announced that after weeks without access to clean drinking water, PaulAnn residents are now under a boil notice. According to officials, the do-not-drink notice was rescinded with the approval of TCEQ.

The decision was made after post-hydrant flush test samples showed no traces of any chemicals or contaminate present. The industrial area - denoted in red on the map - will remain under a do-not-use notice at this time but the City continues to work on getting the restrictions reduced.

Residents of PaulAnn can now begin using their water under the guidelines of the current citywide boil water notice. Any water that is to be consumed must be boiled first. 

"We are still asking everyone in the city to conserve water as much as possible at this time so that we can continue to fill our water tanks and regain pressure at the plant," said the city in a statement. "Please only use water for life-sustaining uses like flushing the toilet or using water to drink or cook after first boiling it."
