The City of Floydada, Texas has repaired two separate water leaks within the city's system, but the boil water notice remains in effect as the city awaits approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to officially rescind the advisory.

Why it matters

Boil water notices are issued when there are concerns about the safety and quality of the municipal water supply, requiring residents to take precautions before using the water for drinking, cooking, or oral hygiene. The city's prompt action to identify and fix the leaks is an important step, but the TCEQ approval is required before the advisory can be lifted.

The details

According to city officials, crews successfully repaired the two leaks and the water system is now operating as expected. However, the boil water notice will remain in place until the TCEQ provides the necessary approval to rescind the advisory.

  • The leaks were repaired on January 28, 2026.
