The City of Carrollton has rescinded the boil water notice that was issued on Aug. 2 after an ATMOS Energy contractor accidentally hit and ruptured a water line at 5th Avenue and Broadway Street.
Workers with the City Public Works Department isolated and repaired the break, which affected customers from Crosby Road to Northside Drive and from Broadway Street to the north Interstate 35E service road.
All residents in downtown Carrollton were advised to boil water before consumption until the repair had been made.
When given a boil water notice, tap water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil for two minutes and then cooled before drinking, cooking, making ice, or other water consumption. Children, seniors and those with weakened immune systems should be cautious as they are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria.
