The Woodlands Water Agency addressed reported rumors just before noon Feb. 17 and released an announcement that there was not a boil notice in effect in The Woodlands as of that time.

A boil notice was released earlier in the morning for many entities in the Greater Houston area.

However, Jim Stinson, general manager of The Woodlands Water Agency, which manages 10 municipal utility districts in The Woodlands area, said The Woodlands was not affected as of that time.

“The water supply in The Woodlands remains safe and the distribution system of the Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) serving our community is strong," Stinson said. "Contrary to social media rumors and confusion about notices from other area government entities, there is no boil notice in The Woodlands. We know customers are facing plumbing challenges at home. Our crews continue to respond 24/7. If you have a water emergency, please call 855-H20-SAVE, option 4 and a staff member will respond."
