The City of Port Arthur has issued a boil water notice Wednesday morning after failing to meet the minimum treatment technique requirements for the month of January 2025. Specifically, on January 22, 2025, the water system had combined filter effluent turbidity readings above 5.0 NTU.

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, any water that you use for drinking, cooking, or ice making should be boiled prior to consumption. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. (Be sure to let it cool before drinking it.)

In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, we will notify you.
