KYLE -- A boil water notice was issued in the city of Kyle as of Wednesday, Feb. 17, as of 4 p.m. due to water pressure dropping below critical PSI (pounds per square inch). Residents who do not have power to boil water are advised to use bottled water for consumption.
The city's water distribution system dropped below 20psi after repetitive, prolonged power outages at various production sites and an extended loss of one of the main water supplies. Kyle is required to issue a system-wide Boil Water Noticd by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Though there is no evidence of any contamination within the system, the city recommends that all water customers boil their water prior to consumption. This includes drinking, washing hands/face, brushing teeth, etc.
