Boil water notice
DRINKING WATER WARNING
Reduced Water System Pressure in Willow Park’s water
BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
Reduced distribution pressure was observed in the Willow Springs Oak water pressure plane on Tuesday, February 17, 2021. This was due to lack of electricity needed to operate pumps and sensors needed to maintain pressure and freezing water lines.
The Notice is limited to the following areas:
- Russell Road
- Circle Drive
- Circle Court
- Deer Pond Drive
- Big Creek Road
- Quail Trail
- Bond Road
- Peach Drive
- Kingswood Road
- Misty Meadow Drive
- Quail Crest Drive
- Clear Fork Circle
- FM 5
- East Bankhead Drive
Bacteria can make you sick, and are especially a concern for people with weakened immune systems.
Bacterial contamination can occur when there is reduced pressure in the distribution system (pipes).
To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the City officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the City will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.
What should I do? What does this mean?
• DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for two minutes and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
What is being done?
Electricity has been restored and the pipes are being thawed. We will inform you when tests show no bacteria are present and you no longer need to boil your water. We anticipate resolving the problem within 48 hour time frame.
