However, according to a news release from the Texas Renaissance Festival:"At no point during the Festival’s opening weekend was anybody in any harm due to the water quality." The statement said before receiving the"late test results," food merchants on site"were asked to boil water before consumption," and all merchants were prepared to do so"out of an abundance of caution," it said.
The Texas Renaissance Festival quoted a program manager for the state agency as saying it reviewed results of well water samples and determined"the water from the wells" were"considered an approved source" that"no longer needs to be boiled prior to use.”
