The city of Llano announced a boil water notice on Tuesday morning, Feb. 24, after a water main break was discovered on Monday night, affecting residents south of the Llano River. The city clarified that public water customers north of the Llano River were not affected.
The main break has been repaired according to the city. The city will issue a statement once the boil water notice has been lifted.
The city warned residents to boil their water before consuming it, which includes washing hands and brushing teeth, as dangerous bacteria could affect them. Children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems were noted as especially at risk.
“To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use,” a city press release reads.
Llano ISD posted their own statements about the water leak late Monday evening, Feb. 23, and assured parents, students, and staff that school operations would continue on Tuesday with bottled water on site and enough boiled water for meal preparation.
