LAGO VISTA, Texas – Repairs are continuing to a water plant in Lago Vista after an emergency outage over the weekend.<\/p>\n
A boil water notice is in effect for the area south of Dawn Drive, near Lohman Ford Road.<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The outage happened on Nov. 30, impacting the area south of Dawn Drive, including Drapers Cove.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The outage was resolved in a couple of hours as the system stabilized, but residents are still urged to conserve water until permanent repairs are finished.<\/p>\n
In an update Monday morning, the city says that contractors have been excavating at the site since 7 a.m. and are working to fully expose where the permanent repairs will be made.<\/p>\n
The city says that due to the complex nature of the repair, work could continue into the late evening and even into tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
Boil water notice <\/p>\n
Why you should care:<\/p>\n
The boil water notice was issued “out of an abundance of caution” following the temporary loss of pressure due to the outage.<\/p>\n
City of Lago Vista Public Works crews responded immediately and restored normal system pressure within minutes, but state regulations require public notice, says the city.<\/p>\n
City staff are collecting bacteriological samples from many locations across the affected area; those samples will be sent to a state-approved lab to make sure the water is safe for public consumption.<\/p>\n
What you can do:<\/p>\n
Until further notice, all Lago Vista water customers in the area should boil their water before consuming it, including for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing food.<\/p>\n
To ensure safety, residents should bring water to a vigorous boil for at least two minutes before use.<\/p>\n
The notice will be lifted as soon as test results confirm the water is safe to drink, says the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
