LAGO VISTA, Texas — The City of Lago Vista has lifted a boil water notice that was issued on Thursday due to a water main leak.
As of Saturday, July 8, the City said the water was safe to drink.
The water main break impacted people on Dodge Trail, Diamond Trail, Panhandle Cove, Airport Road and 7708 Lonham Ford Road, according to a tweet from the Lago Vista Police Department.
The leak caused water pressure to drop below the state minimum in those areas. Officials issued a boil water notice for those only in Pressure Planes 3A and 2.
Residents were asked to boil their water to prevent harmful bacteria and other microbes from entering their drinking water, cooking and ice-making.
Officials said children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are vulnerable to harmful bacteria.
Lago Vista police reported, "Public Works just finished repairing a leak in a main line this morning. We ask that residents conserve their water usage to allow the system some time to catch up."
City officials said the boil water notice was lifted when the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's requirements were met.
