City-Wide School Closures due to Boil Water Notification from City of Houston and state of texas

11/28/2022

 

MONDAY, NOV. 28 AND TUESDAY, NOV. 29, 2022

Houston Public Works wrote in a press release that the water pressure had dropped "below the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s required minimum of 20 PSI during a power outage at the East Water Purification Plant."
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said the city believes the water is safe, but they had to issue the boil water notice due to regulatory requirements. 

"Water samples will subsequently follow and hopefully we will get the all clear from TCEQ," Turner tweeted early Monday morning. The city has to wait 24 hours from that point before the boil water notice is suspended. The earliest would be tomorrow night or very early Tuesday morning."
Officials will notify the public when water is again safe to consume without boiling it first.
The Houston Independent School District announced its schools, offices and facilities would be closed on Monday in response to the boil water notice."

The school district announced that schools would again be closed on Tuesday, November 29th.
Officials from the TCEQ, a state regulation entity requires water utility districts to submit samples taken from multiple sites before they will agree to lifting the boil order. The first samples, submitted after the 18 hour waiting period (for samples to show contamination in the lab.) would be checked at 3 am. A second set of samples sent to Austin, would be checked at 6 am. 

Because of the timeframe, the district chose to stay closed. 

​We will make the best of this. I remind every student that I will be checking your learning station portfolio for a grade, when we meet on Gator Day Wednesday.
