PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Rescind Boil Water Notice

On January 28, 2026, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the City of Big Spring public water system (PWS ID #1140001), to issue a Boil Water Notice to inform customers, individuals, or employees that, due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes, and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of February 3, 2026.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Shane Bowles, Public Works Director, at 432-264-2501.

The park is open, but headquarters is closed. The gate is open to traffic. Water is shut off to the park, including the pavilion and CCC restrooms, to prevent burst pipes. Please use vault restrooms instead.
