Mandatory Outdoor Water Restrictions are still in
place for the city of Huntsville. City well production
is decreased due to continuous pumping. Right
now only a very limited amount of water is coming
from the Trinity River line causing the City to rely
almost exclusively on well water. We need your
help to ensure everyone continues to have
enough water for all regular indoor activities. At
this time, no outside water use is permitted.
It is believed that the break was caused by soil
support failure due to the recent heavy rains.
Environmental issues and mechanical setbacks
have delayed the repair to the leaking Raw Water
Line. The leak is currently on schedule to be
repaired at the end of this week or early next
week. The Trinity River Authority had hoped the
work would be done sooner but soil conditions are
continuing to pose difficulties. The Tenaska power
plant water supply has been shut off for the time
being in response to City needs.
Stage 3 restrictions are the highest level imposed
citywide. Violations may result in citations or loss
of water service.
The City has reached out to major water users
who have halted outdoor water usage but we are
still facing difficulties with residential compliance.
In order to maintain adequate levels to serve
everyone's needs and be prepared in the event of
an emergency, all outdoor watering needs to be
discontinued until further notice.
If you have any questions, please call 936-294-
5768.
