City of Baytown under boil water notice due to low water pressure following water main break

BAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) -- Baytown is under a boil water notice Wednesday after a water main break on Bayway Drive that continues to cause low water pressure.

The boil water notice is for residents and businesses along Bayway Drive from Spur 330 to Bayvilla Drive and along Baker Road from Bayway Drive to Bush Road.

The notice means anyone in the impacted areas should boil water prior to drinking, cooking, ice making, brushing teeth, and washing hands/face to kill harmful bacteria and other microbes. Children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria.

Before using the water, it should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. You could also use bottled water.

According to the city, water line repairs are being made in the Lakewood and Baker Road areas. Service was temporarily restored Wednesday morning, officials said, but when water pressure didn't return back to necessary levels, the boil water notice was issued as a precaution.

The City of Baytown first alerted customers to an issue Tuesday night, when it said crews were working on the main waterline that feeds the eastern and central part of Baytown, requiring the water to temporarily be shut off. The recent rainfall also hindered the repair process, the city said.

By 11 a.m. Wednesday, the issue continued, impacting two schools in Goose Creek CISD, including Travis Elementary and Baytown Junior School. Neither school had running water.

At 2 p.m., the boil water notice went into effect.

The city said it will release another update when the notice is lifted.
