Boil water notice issued for entire City of Overton

OVERTON — The entire City of Overton is under a boil water notice due to a faulty valve discovered during a planned water outage. On Tuesday,according to our news partner KETK, the city announced a scheduled water outage for Friday to connect the 1,000-foot, 10-inch Poly Creek bore on East Humble Way. At the time, officials said that if everything went as planned, only a limited area of surrounding roads would be placed under a boil water notice.

However, in a recent update, the City of Overton reported that a faulty valve will require the boil water notice to apply citywide once service is restored. Water is expected to be back around 2 p.m. Friday. A boil water notice advises that all water intended for consumption be boiled for at least two minutes and cooled prior to use. This notice marks the ninth boil water alert issued in Overton this year, but the first to affect the entire city. More information on the boil water notice will be provided as it becomes available.
