SAN MARCOS, Texas — A boil water notice issued for some San Marcos residents has been lifted.
According to the Maxwell Special Utility District (SUD), residents in the Saddlebrook area were under the boil water notice after a line break occurred on Monday, Oct. 30.
While Maxwell SUD issued the boil water notice, officials with the water supply company told KVUE the water main is owned and operated by Sun Communities, which is the one in charge of making repairs.
Maxwell also said the boil water notice was issued after it became obvious that service was disrupted and that the criteria to trigger the notice was met. Maxwell expected to test several samples at a Texas State University lab on Tuesday in hopes of rescinding the notice.
"This is solely a private issue between a landlord and their tenants," General Manager Justin Ivicic told KVUE in a statement on Monday. "Maxwell has no authority or responsibility to issue or make repairs on private property. We did what we felt was best by ordering the notice."
On Wednesday, Nov. 1, Maxwell said the public water system had taken the "necessary corrective measures" to restore the water quality and had provided the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality with lab tests results that showed the water doesn't need to be boiled anymore.
