ODESSA, TEXAS – Medical Center Hospital is flying the Texas Flag at half-staff on
Thursday, January 14, in honor of the MCH employee who died of COVID-19 earlier this
month. Joe Guerra, an EKG Tech who had worked for MCH for more than 32-and-a-half
years, died on January 3 from COVID-19 complications.
“Joe was one of those familiar faces that was synonymous with Medical Center
Hospital,” said Russell Tippin, MCHS President & CEO. “Everyone that worked with him
can speak to how Joe made MCH a better place. He was a hard-working man that loved
his family, his job and his coworkers. This tribute is only but a small fraction of the
recognition Joe deserves for a life dedicated to helping others.”
Due to a main break causing a loss of system pressure, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality has required the Ector County Utility District/PWS ID# 0680235
public water system to notify all customers within the area indicated on the attached
map to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth,
drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are
particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these
directions).
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.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a
notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this
notice.
Repairs have been completed.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially
those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in
apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this
notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact ECUD at 432-381-5525,
1039 N. Moss Ave., Odessa, Texas.
17th Street between Dixie and Walnut will be closed Monday (1/18/2021) through Friday (1/21/2021)
due to the removal and replacement of an existing water main line.
