As a result of the current emergency declaration by the City of San Angelo regarding water contamination concerns, the Tom Green County Detention Center has secured several thousand gallons of water for drinking and cooking purposes.  This water is packaged in 16 ounce bottles, gallon jugs, and five gallon jugs to sustain operations.  Additionally, arrangements have been made to acquire additional water resources should they be needed.

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards has been made aware of the matter.
