Boil water notice for Overton

OVERTON – The discovery of a main water line leak in Overton on Wednesday morning will leave some residents without water throughout the day, the city said. According to our news partner KETK, residents who live east of Linda Lane on FM 850 East will experience water outages today, including the Willow Creek Apartments, Joe Lee Road and Jesse Thompson Road. The city hopes to have water restored sometime today.

City officials attributed the prevention of a citywide outage to the newly installed valves. For the past week, the city has been replacing and installing the valves to improve and repair the water system. A boil-water notice was issued due to the repairs and remains in effect while water samples are tested
