Boil water notice cancelled
Cleburne water safe to drink
City of Cleburne water customers and residents are no longer required to boil water before consumption.
Tested water samples have confirmed that no contamination of the system occurred. All conditions required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality have been met, allowing city officials to clear the system for public consumption.
Because of a power surge Monday, the Cleburne water treatment plant experienced an outage in two of the four high-service pumps. The pumps were out of service for about 20 minutes, and a loss of pressure in the water distribution system occurred.
Some areas experienced pressure of less than 20 pounds per square inch, and the city was then required to issue a boil water notification.
“I appreciate the cooperation of our residents and businesses during this situation,” said City Manager Chester Nolen in a release from the city. “We know now that no water was contaminated, and the boil notice was precautionary. This was an isolated event, and the city is working to ensure a similar situation is avoided in the future.”
Rumors circulating in town that officials discovered a body in the water near the pumps or that a body somehow caused the pumps to fail are false, city officials said.
Bono and Liberty Chapel fire departments maintained two water tanker trucks on hand at Cleburne’s Number 3 Fire Station while the boil notice was in effect.
With possible water pressure problems in the system, the trucks remained in case of an emergency, said Cleburne Assistant Fire Chief Keith Scarbrough.
