Posted /Delivered on: 6/6/2025 Mandatory Language for a Maximum Contaminant Level Violation - TTHM
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has notified the EAST CEDAR CREEK FWSD BROOKSHIRE TX1070167 that the drinking water being supplied to customers had exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established the MCL for total trihalomethanes to be 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L) based on a locational running annual average (LRAA), and has determined that it is a health concern at levels above the MCL. Analysis of drinking water in your community for total trihalomethanes indicates a compliance value in quarter two 2025of 0.082mg/L for DBP2-04 157 Fernwood.
Trihalomethanes are a group of volatile organic compounds that are formed when chlorine, added to the water during the treatment process for disinfection, reacts with naturally‑occurring organic matter in the water.
Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidney, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
You do not need to use an alternative water supply. However, if you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor to get more information about how this may affect you.
We are taking the following actions to address this issue:
Creating a more aggressive flushing program and installing automatic flush hydrants.
Please share this information with all people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (i.e., people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact James Blodgett at 903-887-7103.

***** BOIL WATER NOTICE FOR SPECIFIC AREAS IN PAYNE SPRING**********
Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems 05/14/2025
This is for customers located in the following areas: Subdivisions down double bridge road (Timber Bay, Grandview Terrace, Wood Canyon Waters, Deer Island, Spillview Estates and other surrounding areas who experinced a water outage.
Due to an outage caused by damage to the District's water main,, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the East Cedar Creek FWSD public water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions).
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 for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.
In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact James Blodgett 903-887-7103. Out office is located at 115 Hammer Road, Gun Barrel CIty, Tx 75156

This rule is required for community and non-transient non-community public water systems to comply with the service line inventory requirements of the January 15, 2021, Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR).
