Important Notice: Water Conservation Request for Celeste Residents
The Celeste water system typically operates using two well sites: the North Well and the South Well. Currently, our system is functioning solely on the South Well.
Yesterday, the city experienced a significant increase in water demand compared to previous days. As a result, our ground storage tanks were depleted—a situation that was identified early this morning.
We are actively working to restore the levels in our ground storage tanks in order to meet the heightened demand. During this process, water pumping into the system may experience delays.
To assist us in recovering and maintaining adequate water supply, we are asking all Celeste residents to conserve water at this time. Your cooperation is essential and greatly appreciated.
We appreciate your understanding and assistance as we work to restore our water system. Updates will be provided as the situation improves.
Sincerely,
Shaunna Cole
Mayor

Due to reduced distribution system pressure the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the City of Celeste/PWS TX1160002 public water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., 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Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
