Ongoing Bell County projects to cause reduced water supply
BELL COUNTY, Texas (FOX 44) – The Bell County Water Control & Improvement District #1 (WCID 1) is raising awareness of reduced water supply during critical project completions coming next month.
WCID 1 says two projects planned and funded to bring about improved reliability and enhanced resiliency are nearing completion. However, they will require a shut down of the 48-inch line to make final connections. This water main delivers approximately 2/3rds of the total water supply to the cities of Nolanville, Harker Heights, Killeen, and Copperas Cove – along with the 439 Water Supply Corporation and Fort Cavazos.
A bid was awarded to McLean Construction in Killeen on April 24, 2024, in order to constructapproximately 5,000 feet of 54-inch steel pipeline parallel and adjacent to the problem riddledsection of 48-inch concrete steel cylinder pipe. Since the 48-inch pipe was originally installed in1975, there have been several main breaks resulting in reduced water supply to the approximate 265,000 population served by this system.
WCID 1 says all but one line rupture occurred within a 5,000-foot section of the pipeline near North Nolan Road on the east side of the Fort Cavazos Military Reservation. The new steel pipe section is complete except for the connections to the existing 48 inch on either end as shown in the picture below.
The other project is the construction of a 3-million-gallon concrete storage tank a few mileswest of the parallel line construction. This bid was also awarded to DN Tanks at the April 2024 WCID 1 Board Meeting. This project also requires a shutdown of the 48 to make the necessary connections to the transmission main as shown in the picture below.
WCID 1 says it will be initiating Stage 3 of its Drought Contingency Plan toward the end of May, seeking at least a 30 percent reduction in water usage. The district will be asking all of its customers to implement the stage of their own Drought Contingency Plans resulting in at least a 30 percent reduction in water use. This curtailment could last up to four days while contractors make the critical connections and welds.
During the time water is shut down on the 48-inch line, water delivery from the Belton Water Treatment Plant will be from a 24-inch line and a 30-inch line. If water usage from residents and businesses is reduced enough, a boil water advisory may not be necessary.
However, if water usage depletes storage levels, then a mandatory boil order will be issued forpublic health and safety. The District will implement Emergency Water Demand Measures forwater delivery as shown in our Drought Contingency Plan. The Pro Rata Allocation from thisportion of the Conservation Plan will be used as a guide for reporting reduced usage during theshutdown period.
WCID 1 says several water saving tips are available at www.wcid1.org. For more information, you can contact Bell County WCID #1 General Manager Ricky Garrett at (254) 501-9243 or send an email to general@wcid1.org.

Private parking operator agrees to pay Vt. $150,000 over 'misleading citations'
MONTPELIER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – A Maine-based private parking operator has agreed to pay Vermont roughly $150,000 after the company issued 'citations' without governmental authority to do so, Attorney General Charity Clark announced. Unified Parking Partners runs about 27 private parking areas in various parts of the state. UPP reportedly sent 'citations' to consumers over the course of four years, between 2020 and 2024. If unpaid, UPP alleged that 'citations' could impact license renewal, credit rating and more. In a release, Attorney General Clark and her office said that 'thousands' of consumers paid off these fines, and that UPP does not have the proper authority to impact consumer credit. Officers search for suspect in golf-cart theft An investigation was conducted regarding UPP's possible Consumer Protection Act violations, and they have agreed to change 'misleading parking notices' in addition to paying the fine. The company must also stop using term 'carrying any consequence it has no lawfulauthority to make,' according to an excerpt from the settlement agreement. Such language includes the terms 'citation' and 'fine'. Attorney General Clark said she is 'pleased that this company has agreed to stop its misrepresentations.' 'Companies have a right to charge for services rendered, but not to trick consumers into paying out of fear that disputing a charge could come with consequences the company has no power to impose. The message to commercial actors is that words matter and misrepresentations carry consequences. I'm pleased that this company has agreed to stop its misrepresentations.'
