Notice was issued for broken water line

KILLEEN, Texas (April 20, 2022) - A boil water notice issued effective beginning Monday, April 18, 2022 for properties located at 124-364 Briarcroft Lane, 120 Mighty Oak Lane, and 131 Lonely Oaks Lane has been lifted immediately (as of Wednesday, April 20, 2022 at 5:30p.m.).



Due to a broken water line on April 18, crews had to isolate the water main to complete repairs. Water crews remained on site until all repairs were completed and water services were restored. Water quality samples were taken on April 19th, with results showing no contamination occurred.



A BOIL WATER NOTICE was issued for the properties located at the above listed addresses effective April 18 at 1p.m. Residents at these addresses should have boiled all water prior to consumption until water sampling results confirmed that no contamination occurred. Public notice will be issued through the City of Killeen website KilleenTexas.gov, by news release and the Boil Water Notice Hotline at (254) 501-6515, now that the notice is lifted.



TCEQ Required Notice:

Due to conditions caused by water system repair, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required the City of Killeen, PWS 0140006, to notify all customers at the above listed properties to boil their water prior to consumption. Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all affected customers should have followed these directions.

Affected individuals were notified in person or with a notice hung on the door. A press release was issued and local news agencies were notified prior to the repair.



The City of Killeen public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of April 20, 2022 at 5:30p.m.
