Residents no longer need to boil their water before consumption. However, city officials recommend that residents flush out their ice-machines and water line systems briefly before using them.
The boil water notice was issued Wednesday after officials said a water main break caused the system pressure to drop below 20 psi. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the City of Deer Park public water system to notify all customers to boil their water until the test results came back safe.
