Residents of Lewisville can breathe a sigh of relief as the city officials announce that the water is safe to drink again. The boil water notice that had the community on high alert since Sunday morning has been lifted. According to a social media post from Lewisville City Hall, state-mandated tests confirmed the water meets safety requirements.
The precautionary boil water notice was originally implemented after a significant 30-inch water main failure caused a sudden drop in water service and pressure. Despite the swift three-hour turnaround to restore water service, protocols required that the water quality be verified before deeming it safe for consumption. "State-mandated water quality test results received early Monday afternoon showed that the water met or exceeded state and federal standards for water safety," the city's news release on social media.
Lewisville's water system is not a stranger to recognition, serving more than 137,000 residents and maintaining a "Superior Public Water System" rating by the American Public Works Association. Even more reassuring for residents is that the City’s drinking water continues to hold its rating of "Superior Public Water Supply," the highest rating given by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
