Maverick County Commissioners Court approved the purchase of a large shipment of disinfectant bleach from a private company to be distributed free of charge to all County residents as a Declaration of Disaster due to the COVID-19 public health emergency at their emergency meeting held on Wednesday, March 24, 2020 at Commissioners Court.
County Judge David R. Saucedo stated that the disinfectant bleach will be distributed free of charge to all residents on Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 11 distribution points within the county starting at 1 P.M.. Judge Saucedo requested all County residents to bring with them a copy of their Eagle Pass Water Works System March 2020 water bill and an empty plastic gallon or plastic container as the County does not have any empty plastic containers.

Residents will be limited to receiving one gallon of the disinfectant.
