A major water main break occurred in Aledo, prompting the city to issue a boil water notice. The break happened along Bailey Ranch Road near Champions Drive. As a result, residents are being asked to boil their water due to potential contamination.

Lower water pressure in the pipes can allow groundwater and contaminants to seep in, potentially introducing harmful bacteria. Certain groups, such as children and seniors, are more vulnerable to these bacteria.

For the latest information on the boil water notice, residents can visit the city's website at aledotx.gov/boilnotice, where updates will be posted as more information becomes available.
