Cottage Hill Boil Water Notice Rescinded: Contractor Hit Water Main In McDavid
September 30, 2022
UPDATE: THIS BOIL WATER NOTICE WAS LIFTED 9/30 AFTER TESTING SHOWED THAT THE WATER WAS SAFE TO DRINK.
A contractor working in McDavid Tuesday hit a water main causing a water outage for Central Water Works customers from South Century Boulevard to Byrneville Road.
The leak was valved off and water service returned to most customers in the area within the hour.
A precautionary boil water notice is in effect until further notice.
The utility is advising, as a precaution, that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative bottled water may be used.
This precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until the problem has been corrected and a bacteriological survey shows that the water is safe to drink.
Customers can monitor their phone, texts and emails from Central Water Works, and this story will be updated when the boil water notice is lifted.

Which side of hwy 29 is on the boil water notice? Or is it both sides?
Will the “contractor” pay to fix this? Doubtful, since I hear through the grapevine that the water line was not marked by the water company. As a customer/member of the water works you should be asking, “How did this happen?” “Why?”, you ask, because you will be responsible for paying the overtime to the employees responsible for repairing this error.
Chris, slow day finding something to complain about? You made it easy for me today, I only complain about complainers.
That’s why you have filters.Do not use any ice from ice maker until 24-36 hours after boil water notice has expired.That’s what I’ve done for years and had no problems.
Fence jumper, stay away from complex machinery if you actually have to ask that question.
How do they recommend you boil the water prior to it going into the ice maker?
