BOIL ORDER STARTING 0706/2024
Boil Water Notice for City of Atlanta
Public Water System ID # 0340001
7-6-2024
Due to water distribution system pressures below 20 psi, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the City of Atlanta Public Water System ID #0340001 to notify all customers 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 the 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 water, the public water system 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.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 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 Bobby Washington, Director of Public Works at 903-796-7153 (email: bwashington@atlantatexas.org . Customers may obtain a copy of the “Boil Water Notice” at the City of Atlanta City Hall, 315 N. Buckner, Atlanta, Texas 75551.
The City of Atlanta and its supplier are actively working to bring water distribution pressure back to normal levels. As we currently do not have an estimated time that pressures will be restored, we recommend have two (2) gallons of potable water for every member of your household for a 72-hour period.

Public Notice
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has notified the CITY OF ATLANTA TX0340001 that the drinking water being supplied to customers had exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established the MCL for total trihalomethanes to be 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L) based on locational running annual average (LRRA), and has determined that it is a health concern at levels above the MCL. Analysis of drinking water in your community for total trihalomethanes indicates a compliance value in quarter three 2023 of 0.090 mg/L for DBP2-01.
Trihalomethanes are a group of volatile organic compounds that are formed when chlorine, added to the water during the treatment process for disinfection, reacts with naturally-occurring organic matter in the water.
Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidney, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
You do not need to use an alternative water supply. However, if you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor to get more information about how this may affect you.
We are taking the following actions to address this issue:
Atlanta’s water is treated by the Graphic Packaging Mill. We are working with the water plant operators asking them to improve and enhance their filtration processes in order to remove higher levels of naturally occurring organic matter.
Please share this information with all people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (i.e., 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 regarding this matter, you may contact Becky Allen at 903-796-7153.
