Due to water line maintenance, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water system Big Oaks MUD (PWS# TX0790332) notify customers of the need to boil their water.

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact the Compliance Department at (281) 367-5511.
