KILLEEN, Texas (Dec. 15, 2025) – A transmission main beneath I-14 near the Jasper Road overpass was struck by a third-party contractor, disrupting water service in the Middle Pressure Plain and prompting a boil water notice.
City crews have isolated the damaged section and are rerouting water to restore service to affected areas. Because the main is located under I-14, repair teams have been mobilized to expedite work and minimize public inconvenience. Work is expected continue Tuesday morning, Dec. 16, until work is complete.
Due to the temporary loss of water pressure, the city is advising all water customers in the middle pressure plain to boil tap water before using it for drinking, cooking, or making ice until further notice.
