Public Notice to Boil Water
May 22, 2018
Due to a water main leak, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required our water system City of Rising Star/0670005 to notify customers of the need to boil their water prior to consumption.
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the water system officials will notify you that the water is safe for consumption. Instructions to discontinue boiling will be issued in the same manner as this notice.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Rising Star City Hall at 254-643-4261 or 254-643-4601.

As summer is here, the uncontrolled growth of weeds and brush creates an all too familar problem. This unsightly growth creates the possibility for fires to take place as well as provide handy breeding grounds for rodents and insects.
The City of Rising Star has an Ordinance which requires the property owner to control the growth of weeds and brush on their property so that at no time are there more than 12 inches in height. Each of us appreciates the rights and privileges o...f property ownership; therefore, we must all accept the responsibilities along with these rights.
In lieu of possible court action (if owner fails to comply) the CIty may direct the mowing, clearing of your property by using Municipal resources or hire a private contractor. For such work, the owner will be charged for any costs the CIty incurs on the mowing, cleaning of property or removal of vehicles in violation.
If yuo wish to discuss the City Ordinance or requirements regarding weed and brush control, and junked or abandoned vehicles, you many call the CIty office at 254-643-4261.
Each summer, tourist and travelers begin to visit our City for reunions, festivals, and other events. Please help make Rising Star a safer, more beautiful and healthier place in which to live and work.
Thank you to all who keep their property maintained by mowing and keeing clean, and removing all junk and abandonded vehicles
