Lake Jackson shut off its supply from Brazosport Water Authority, which accounted for half its water source. … Lake Jackson’s water crisis began with the discovery of Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that typically affects people when contaminated water enters their body through their nose, according to the CDC.Sep 30, 2020
TCEQ Report: City of Lake Jackson, Texas, Incident
The Boil Water Notice for Lake Jackson residents was lifted on Oct. 6. The water system was converted to free chlorine and extensively flushed throughout the distribution lines. Samples collected by the TCEQ and the City indicate that the water is safe to use for drinking and cooking. Residents are urged to continue precautions recommended by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention below until concerns with the ameba have been resolved.

Sediment Being Removed From 300,000 gallon drinking water tower.
The water storage tanks and towers you see around your city or town are the last stop for drinking water on its way to your tap. By the time the water enters the storage tank it has been processed through filter media or other forms of treatment to meet EPA standards. Over years of service, sediment builds up in water storage tanks and towers. One particle at a time, from a half to three inches is a common amount of build up over several years. This sediment that gathers on the bottom of the tank floor is seldom thought about. Out of sight and out of mind, it lays undisturbed becoming a welcoming habitat for bacteria, protozoa and even viruses. . .
Sediment under Microscope
A close up of the sediment under a 4x microscope did not reveal any moving contaminates, but still, nothing you would want to drink. . . . .
Sediment water under a 40X microscope
. . . However, under a 40x microscope we could see the movement of microorganisms. Removing the sediment from the floor of the tank removed the habitat that these microbes were able to live in. Now chlorine will keep the drinking water fresh and pure, free from bacteria and other living contaminants. . . . . This is raw video of what we found with our 40X electronic microscope. For more information on water tank cleaning visit my commercial web site at http://www.ronperrin.com One of our divers thought he had something important to say from the top of a water storage tank we were cleaning. He made this video and put it online. A little rough, a little crude, but he makes a good point.
