Areas of Bexar, Kerr and Bandera Counties under boil water order

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Thousands of households in Bexar, Kerr and Bandera Counties are under a boil water order following a loss of pressure in the distribution system.

The order, which was issued Monday, comes from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

They’re directing effected customers to boil water for two minutes before drinking it, brushing their teeth, making ice cubes or washing their hands and face.

This is to ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria.

The boil order will stay in place until testing proves the water is safe for human consumption.
