The notice
The Hughes public water system (PWSID 300272) was placed on a boil water notice on 04/16/2025 due to unverifiable turbidity levels occurring as the result of equipment failure. The boil water notice will remain in effect until repairs have been completed, turbidity levels have been verified, and an adequate number of clean total coliform samples have been collected and reported.
