Boil Water Advisory
Press release
September 27, 2005La Marque
– The Galveston County Health District has confirmed that Galveston Island west of
Seven Mile Road excluding Jamaica Beach and the Bolivar Peninsula including High
Island remain under “Boil Water” advisories. These advisories are a result of
the disruption of water service from Hurricane Rita. Residents should remain aware that once repairs are complete and water is
flowing through the line, it is not safe to consume the water until laboratory
tests confirm its purity. These advisories will remain in effect until such
time that officials have declared the water safe for use.
Disinfecting contaminated drinking water guidelines can be found on the
District’s web site at:
