Due to conditions which have occurred recently in the City of Hemphill’s water system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the system to notify all customers to boil prior to consumption. A leak in the 8″ water line that was found on August 27th, 2019 at approximately 8:30 p.m. at the intersection of Hwy 83 and Texas Street. The city has repaired the leak, but due to the length of the water outage and loss of pressure, the City is required to issue this boil advisory.
