Boil Water Notice - 716 Indian Trail

On December 8, 2025, the water may have been off while city crew repairs water line at 716 Indian Trail.

The areas affected by this water shutoff are as follows:
All of 716 Indian

TCEQ Required Notice:
Due to reduced distribution system pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has required the City of Harker Heights, PWS 0140023, to notify all customers at the above listed properties to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g. washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all affected customers should follow these directions.

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking and for making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. In lieu of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes. Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system officials will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

If you have questions regarding this matter you may contact:
Public Works Department at 254-953-5649,
John McElroy, Public Works Director at 254-953-5613,
Mark Hyde, Assistant City Manager at 254-953-5641 or
David Mitchell, City Manager at 254-953-5600

The holidays can be a busy time that can require a pick-me-up. Keep your caffeine consumption under 400 mg (or 4 cups of black coffee) for better sleep, reduced anxiety, and a healthier heart.
