Kingsland water utility 'working 24 hours a day' to lift boil water notice

The Kingsland Water Supply Corp. in Llano County issued notice Saturday alerting customers within its service area that a boil water notice is still in effect.

“Our tanks are slowly filling, and we ask that all customers only use water for sanitary needs,” the company said in a notice posted on its website. “Outdoor water use including pressure washing, washing automobiles and lawn watering are discouraged in order to help us conserve usage so that we can fully pressurize our system to normal conditions.”

Once the water supply’s system is pressurized, the company said, it can begin the bacteriological sampling required to lift the boil water notice.

The system’s pumping capacity is at about 70 percent and the utility expects these conditions to remain until Wednesday, the company said.

The boil water notice has been in effect since Tuesday, Oct. 16.
