City officials in Lytle sent out a public alert Monday afternoon advising that the Lytle Water System will be shut down for several hours this afternoon.
The system will shut down at 3 p.m. to repair a water main break which is expected to take several hours.
When the repairs are completed, a boil water notice will be in effect.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, boil water advisories usually include this advice:
-
Use bottled or boiled water for drinking, and to prepare and cook food.
-
If bottled water is not available, bring water to a full rolling boil for 1 minute (at elevations above 6,500 feet, boil for 3 minutes). After boiling, allow the water to cool before use.
-
Boil tap water even if it is filtered (for example, by a home water filter or a pitcher that filters water).
-
Do not use water from any appliance connected to your water line, such as ice and water from a refrigerator.
-
Breastfeeding is the best infant feeding option. If you formula feed your child, provide ready-to-use formula, if possible.
City officials will advise residents when the boil water notice is lifted and the water is safe to consume without boiling.
