Boil-water order lifted in Burnet
BURNET — A warning to boil water after a weekend pipeline break has been lifted, city officials said Tuesday morning.
“Test samples taken as a result of a water-line break in the city of Burnet have returned an all-clear, according to Water Superintendent Steve Lance,” said city official Crista Goble Bromley in an e-mail release. “Citizens no longer need to boil their water.”
According to Bromley, the boil water-notice was issued after a break in an 8-inch water line overnight Saturday that fed the southern end of the city as well as the Eagles’ Nest subdivision.
No cases of illness were reported by the city.
Officials said the break in the water line was repaired that night.
“While the break was quickly isolated, the boil-water notice was issued in accordance with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements and as a precautionary measure,” Bromley said.
The state commission requires a warning notice to be issued whenever a system is exposed to untreated water regardless of the severity of the breach, city officials said.
