Howardwick citizens were back under a boil water notice this week after a failed pump impacted the city’s water supply there.
City Hall reports that pump problems began Saturday and worsened on Sunday, prompting Red River Water Authority on Monday to issue the boil water notice and place the city under a Stage 4 water emergency, which bans all outside watering.
Red River also delivered bottled drinking water to City Hall for the residents’ use.
City Secretary Sandra Childress said Tuesday that a replacement pump was being installed that day.
Childress also reported that Red River’s board on September 18 will consider moving forward with an entirely new well for the city now that all the necessary approvals for that work have been obtained.
City officials anticipate having all water restrictions lifted later this week.
