Due to a major leak, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the
Denning Rural Public Water System PWS # 2030004 to notify ALL customers to boil their
water prior to consumption (eg., 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to
customer 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 the 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 Denning Rural Water System at
220 W. Columbia Street, San Augustine, Texas, 75972, or call 936-288-0489
or Charles Sharp at 936-201-5001.
