City water crews begin checking pipes across Bowie

Published

on

Attention City of Bowie customers: Workers have begun the process of identifying the type of pipe going into the meter boxes of all water customers, and residents should be aware either a meter reader or a water crew member may be stopping in your yard to make this check.
These workers will all be identified by their City of Bowie T-shirts or name tags.
City Manager Bert Cunningham said this is part of a federal and state-mandated project to identify any lead pipe in water systems. The directive comes from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. It is anticipated it will take up to a year to ID all customers on the city system. Customers should not be alarmed when a worker stops to make their check.
The city has more than 1,500 meters that have to be checked. The deadline is October 2024 to have the project completed. Those with questions can call the city office at 872-1114.
