There are two leaks that began on FM 698 today. One was fixed by our crew this afternoon and the second will be fixed by a contract company that is scheduled to come out tomorrow morning. All water has been restored, a few homes may still have lower water pressure but water is back on for everyone. Please expect that there may be an interruption in service tomorrow morning as they make the second repair on FM 698.
A boil water notice has been issued for 6140-4821 FM 698, Jan Rd, Barkley Rd.
