WCID recommends the temporary Stage 4 restrictions be lifted, which was implemented on April 1
KILLEEN, Texas (April 3, 2024) – The City of Killeen is returning to Stage 2 of the Water Conservation Plan, under the advisement of the Bell County Water Control and Improvement District #1. The organization requested cities temporarily upgrade to a Stage 4 Water Conservation Plan on April 1, following a leak at one its plants. Officials say repairs have been completed and the system is fully restored.
The City of Killeen wants to remind residents that we are still under a Stage 2 Water Conservation Plan and have been asking citizens to conserve since Aug. 1, 2023.
WCID #1 provides water to the citizens of Killeen, Fort Cavazos, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove and Nolanville, who were all under restrictions for 48 hours and asked to reduce their water usage by 30%. WCID #1 said the leak was minor and did not impact service or cause any environmental impacts.
The Water and Sewer division of the City of Killeen’s Public Works Department was proactive and ensured all storage tanks were full, prior to the Stage 4 water restrictions announcement.
WCID #1 and the City of Killeen appreciates all the residents who did their part to conserve this week and all year round. There is no boil water notice required.
