Houston, TX, October 1, 2026 — A free bottled water distribution event has been organized to assist residents of Willis who are currently under a boil water notice. The initiative aims to provide access to safe drinking water for those affected by the advisory, which requires water to be boiled before consumption due to potential contamination.

The distribution site is situated at the North Montgomery County Community Center, located at 600 Gerald Street. The event is scheduled to take place today, with distribution hours set from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Residents affected by the boil water notice are encouraged to utilize this resource for their immediate water needs.

Boil water notices are typically issued by local authorities when there is a concern about the safety of the public water supply. This can occur following events such as infrastructure failures, power outages at water treatment plants, or significant changes in water quality. During such periods, it is critical for consumers to follow the recommended precautions to prevent waterborne illnesses.

The North Montgomery County Community Center serves as a central point for the distribution, aiming for accessibility for the community. The temporary nature of this event underscores the ongoing efforts to manage the impact of the water advisory. Information regarding the duration of the boil water notice itself and the steps being taken to resolve the issue were not immediately available.

The distribution of bottled water is a standard emergency response measure designed to bridge the gap until the public water system is confirmed to be safe for consumption. Residents are advised to confirm the official status of the boil water notice through local government channels or emergency management agencies.
