FROM SUBMITTED REPORTS

City water service will be cut to about 500 homes homes in eastern San Marcos for about nine hours starting at 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 12.

The schedule outage will affect areas in between the intersections of Posey and Coffee roads to the Southridge Estates neighborhood, located at Centerpoint Road and Pauls Drive.

Once water service is restored to the affected areas, residents are urged to boil water prior to consumption or to use bottled water until water quality test results are received on July 14.
