"The town’s troubles started in 2018, when its water tested positive for the dangerous E.coli bacteria."
"After being in place for over six years, a boil water notice for the small West Texas town of Toyah has been lifted.
The city official overseeing the city’s water system, Brandie Baker, rescinded the boil water notice on July 11. In a written announcement, she said, “The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of water distributed.”
According to Baker, the city provided the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality with “laboratory results” that showed Toyah’s water now meets the required drinking water standards. In an email, a TCEQ spokesperson confirmed the city had taken the proper steps to prove that its water is potable.
“It was a team effort and I'm glad to see Toyah at a place where we can start moving forward,” Baker said in an interview with Marfa Public Radio. “There's a lot of people that live here and it'd be nice for them to have it back the way it should be.”"
