After being under a citywide boil-water notice for several days, Harker Heights residents may soon be relieved of their expectations to take the precautionary measure before consumption.
Assistant City Manager Jerry Bark said via email Friday that the city anticipates the notice to be lifted Saturday.
âResults are not back but the lab water testing site is overwhelmed with other Texas City samples,â Bark said.
Part of the reason it has taken the city of Harker Heights so long to lift its notice is because the city has disinfected its four water storage tanks.
Bark said Thursday that it is his understanding that disinfection of the water tanks is required by the Texas Commission on Economic Quality when water tanks go empty and/or if water pressure is lost in the water mains, citing Texas Administrative Code Chapter 290.
