CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Rockport lifted its water-boil notice in a letter to residents Thursday.
The city of Rockport issued a news release Tuesday advising residents of the notice after a contractor working on a water line damaged the line and caused a leak. That leak resulted in low water pressure, which ultimately was the reason for the boil notice.
Repairs to the damaged line were finished at about 1 a.m. Wednesday, the letter states, but the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requires residents to boil water when water lines suffer a loss in pressure in order to destroy any possible bacteria or microbes that may have entered the water supply.
Samples were sent to the TCEQ, and that group was certified as safe to drink Thursday afternoon.
