More than 100,000 gallons of estimated wastewater has overflowed from the City of College Station's public water system on Saturday and Sunday.

The City of College Station has experienced multiple wastewater overflows Saturday and Sunday after more than 12 inches of rainfall.

The exact volume of the overflow is unknown at this time. Once volumes and locations are verified, updated information will be provided. The city says the College Station public water system is not threatened, as no known domestic or public drinking water wells nor surface water intakes are within a half mile of the spill’s location.

To maintain health and safety for our customers, the City of College Station has the following precautionary statements about wastewater overflows:

- People using private drinking water supply wells located within a half mile of a wastewater spill site, or within the potentially affected area, should use only water that has been distilled or boiled at a rolling boil for at least one minute for all personal uses, including drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth.

- Those with private water wells within a half mile of a wastewater spill area should have their water tested and disinfected, if necessary, prior to discontinuing distillation or boiling.

- People who purchase water from a public water supply may contact their water supply distributor to determine if the water is safe for personal use.

- The public should avoid contact with waste material, soil or water in the area potentially affected by the spill.

- As a precaution, it is recommended to avoid contact with the waters of Carters and Alum creeks.

- Do not bathe, swim or wade in floodwaters.

- If the public comes into contact waste material, soil or water potentially affected by the spill, they should bathe and wash clothes thoroughly as soon as possible.

The public should continue to report wastewater spills, power outages and problems with water service to 24-Hour utility dispatch at 855-528-4CSU (4278).
