According to a release, "Due to reduced distribution system pressures, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required North Belt Forest water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption . Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions."
FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku and Google Android TV! To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

Model simulations find the cause of unusually high temperatures at the bottom of the Bornholm SeaThe water temperature at the bottom of the Bornholm Basin in the central Baltic Sea has risen faster in recent decades than at the surface. Warnemünde researchers have now been able to explain this unusual development with a temporal shift in the exchange of water between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. This leads—in addition to the rapid temperature increase in the surface water, which can be observed everywhere in the Baltic Sea and is due to global warming—to a temperature increase in the deep water, too. The research results have now been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
