Title: Hobby Unit Boil Water Notice 5/25/2024

Due to recent adverse weather conditions and low water pressure at Hobby Prison Tower, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued a boil water notice starting May 25, 2024, for the City of Marlin's public water system, specifically at the prison facility. This measure is to ensure the water's safety before it is used for drinking, cooking, or other uses.

Residents and users of the water system at Hobby Prison should boil their water for two minutes before use. This applies to water for drinking, cooking, making ice, washing hands and face, and brushing teeth. Boiling the water will help eliminate harmful bacteria and microbes.

If boiling water is not possible, it is advised to use bottled water or water from a verified safe source. This is to guarantee access to safe drinking water until the boil water notice is lifted.

Updates on the water quality will be provided after the analysis of current water samples, with an expected announcement by tomorrow at 5:30 pm.
