South Ellis County Water Supply Corporation has discovered and repaired several leaks today. However, we are still experiencing water loss from our well and are actively searching for the source of the issue. We will not be shutting off the 77 Well tonight, but we kindly ask that everyone conserve water and limit usage to only what you need. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this situation. We will continue working on this first thing in the morning. If you have any questions, please call us at the office at 972-483-6885.

Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems 07/16/25
Due to low distribution pressure and water outage, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the South Ellis County public water system to notify all customers on Derrs Chapel Rd {southeast of hwy 77), HWY 34, S Ward ST, Seay Rd, Judys Ln, Morgan Rd, Joanna Ln, Stafford St, Harris Rd, Rossen Rd, Dale Acres Rd {southeast of hwy 77), Lowell Rd, Arthur Ln, Hamrock Rd, George Scott Blvd, Hooser Rd, FM 667, Whiterock Rd, Dianna Lynn Rd, Shield Rd, and Northwest County Road 4425, FM 308 South, Lowell Rd, Cosby Rd, Wray Rd, Majors Rd. to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.)
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact our office at 972.483.6885.

At 10:00 PM tonight, July 16, 2025, we will shut down Well 77. While this may not affect everyone drawing water from Well 77, some users may experience a loss of water supply.
The well will be allowed to refill from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. On Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 7:00 AM, we will turn Well 77 back on until the water levels drop too low, requiring another shutdown.
We are actively investigating the source of a leak, but the recent heavy rainfall has made it challenging to locate. If you have experienced low water pressure prior to tonight's shutdown or have noticed any leaks in your area, please call us on our emergency line at 469-570-5818.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work to resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
South Ellis County WSC
