Water quality hearing on Tuesday in Bowie
The City of Bowie will have its annual water quality hearing at 6 p.m. on July 18 in the council chambers of the community room.
All customers of the city water system received a copy of the 2016 report several weeks ago. Bowie continues its superior water rating.
The system uses water from Amon G. Carter Lake. This report outlines all aspects of the water’s composition including lead and copper, inorganic contaminants, disinfection by-products, radioactive contaminants, turbidity, volatile organic contaminants and total organic carbon.
Bowie had no material violations and met the standards. The water loss audit showed 110,752,272 gallons.
A paperwork violation was issued on Oct. 30, 2016, and ended on Jan. 27, 2017. It was resolved with the appropriate paperwork submitted a few weeks after it was reported.
During the public hearing, the report will be reviewed.
Any questions can be addressed to the city council and water department staff.
A BOIL WATER NOTICE remains in effect for the 800 block of Lively Street. Affected residents should use bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. If you are impacted by this notice and need bottled water, please call the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator at (940) 977-4941
The heat advisory that has been in place all week continues until 8 p.m. Friday night.
The National Weather Service reports strong high pressure overhead will bring triple digit high temperatures along with heat index readings approaching 110 degrees for much of next week. To reduce risk of heat related illnesses when outdoors, schedule frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas, and stay hydrated.
Make sure to check on your older neighbors to make sure they are staying cool and hydrates, and make sure pets have shade and water.
