Belton: Boil order issued for customers of Dog Ridge Supply

Dog Ridge Water Supply Corporation issued a boil water notice for its customers, Sunday, due to a power outage at the FM 2410 pump station.

Officials said the facility was without power for an extended period.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our customers in the area of this includes all customers except for customers on and along FM 1670, Dog Ridge Rd, and the Colinas del Lago neighborhood to boil their water prior to consumption.

The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and continue boiling for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable course.

When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the water system officials will notify you the water is safe for consumption.
