Boil Water Notice

PORT ARTHUR — There is a Boil Water Notice in effect for parts of Port Arthur between Highway 69 and 347 (Twin City Highway) and between Highway 365 and Highway 73.

Donald Stanton, Assistant Director of Utilities with the City of Port Arthur said his team responded to a major blowout on a 12-inch water line in the Lake Arthur Drive area Sunday morning

The break wasn't readily visible, but an all terrain vehicle scouting the area and found the leak.

Stanton said the blowout, which was in a pipeline corridor, wouldn't take very long to repair.

The crew announced Sunday night that the pipe had been fixed and that residents in the area should expect their water pressure to steadily increase.

The boil water notice should be lifted Monday afternoon after testing is completed.
