Copperas Cove Restores Pressure Amid Water Conservation Push
Killeen, TX (FOX 44) — Repairs to the City of Copperas Cove's water line have been completed and the system is now pressurized.
The process of refilling affected water tanks is underway…and will take several hours.
A Boil Water Notice has been issued for residents who lost water service and Stage 4B Water Restrictions remain in effect.
'We'll continue to test like we do every day,' Communications Officer Marcus Hood said. 'And that's our main thing is our Public Works Department, our engineers have been in contact with WCID, and they're ensuring that everything's going to be safe to drink.'
As the Bell County Water Control and Improvement District continues two major water projects, Fort Cavazos and nearby cities must reduce water use by at least 30 percent to protect shared resources as a reminder that every drop counts.
'That's the one thing we've done, is get the message out, and just give small tips on our website about how you can conserve water,' Hood stated. 'Which includes maybe taking a little bit shorter shower, if you don't have to do laundry this week, you can hold off, do that, things like that.'
