Residents of a Texas city told not to drink tap water after a brain-eating microbe was found in the water supply
Communities in Texas were warned not to use tap water for anything other than flushing toilets after a rare brain-eating amoeba was found in the public water supply.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality had warned local water supply companies Friday that the rare amoeba called naegleria fowleri had contaminated local water supplies.
Late Saturday, the TCEQ announced that the advisory had been lifted for all but one of the eight communities in the area, Lake Jackson, a city of 27,000 residents that remains under a notice to only use tap water if boiled. The original notice had advised against using tap water for anything other than flushing the toilet.
