(Palo Pinto, Tx) – The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued a boil water notice for residents in The Cliffs resort area.

Midway Water Utilities announced the “Boil Water Notice” for their customers in The Cliffs water system located in Palo Pinto County to boil all water before consumption.  This applies to drinking, cooking, washing face and hands and brushing teeth.

The utility company blames high turbidity in the water caused by a mechanical failure.

Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers.
