Yet another boil water notice has been issued in Bloomington. The hot summer months have wreaked havoc in this Victoria County community, and the water is taking the heat.

At stake is nothing less than the replacing of Bloomington's water system. A complicated, aging network of pipes unable to cope with the changes in weather.

"What happens is like with the change in weather and the weather being so hot as it is, the ground shifts and adding to that is our lines are very old here. Those two factors are one of the reasons why we have to do the boil water ," says Bloomington Water District Clerk Kim Reyes.

In the past few months, the city has hassled with at least two leaks a week, and anytime the water pressure gets below 20 PSI, The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality requires water officials to issue residents a boil water notice.

Reyes says they can't seem to catch a break, and with the on-going drought the problem is becoming much worse.

"It's been a lot, especially since we've had so much dry weather with no rain. This ground is continuously moving and everytime it moves that place where the black iron pipes at, it's gonna break," says district board member John White.

However, officials have been addressing the problem for quite some time now, and not until recently did they finally receive approval from the state and awarded a 2.5 million dollar bond.

"It's been looked thru by the engineers, and according to the population growth of Bloomington and what they predict, it will handle Bloomington for years to come," says white.
