Boil Water Notice lifted for Killeen customers in the Middle Pressure Plane

Middle Pressure Plane

Notice was due to private contractor hitting major water transmission

KILLEEN, Texas (Jan. 11, 2023) - A boil water notice is issued effective Jan. 9, 2023 for all City of Killeen water customers in the Middle Pressure Plane, has been lifted effective immediately.

Water crews had to isolate a water line for repairs due to a private boring contractor striking a major transmission main. Water crews remained on site until all repairs were complete and water services are restored. Water quality samples were taken the following day, with results indicating that no contamination occurred.

A BOIL WATER NOTICE is issued for the properties located at the above listed location beginning Jan. 9 at 3:10p.m. Residents in this area should have boiled all water prior to consumption until water sampling results confirm that no contamination occurred. Public notice will be issued through the City of Killeen website www.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 maintenance of the water system, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has 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 follow 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 Jan. 11, 2023 at 3:00p.m.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. 

For updates on this order, call 254-501-6515. If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact the Water and Sewer Services official at 254-501-6319. 

A color-coded map of the city pressure planes was previously provided. The brown portion is the Middle Pressure plane where the expired boil water notice was originally issued.
