ALPINE, Texas — UPDATE: The boil water notice was rescinded on Wednesday morning.
---------------------------------------------------------
The City of Alpine is under a boil water notice as of 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 25.
This notice is due to a main line break on North Highway 118.
While the break was repaired as of 7 p.m. on Dec. 26, the boil water notice is still in place.
The Alpine Police Department posted on Facebook that it will be distributing water donated by the Food Pantry of Alpine. There will be a limit of two cases per household.
Anyone using water from the sink should boil and cool it prior to drinking it or using it for any other form of consumption like cooking, washing your hands and face, or brushing your teeth.
Alternatively, residents can use bottled water for these reasons.
The city will issue a notice when the water becomes safe to drink without boiling.
