CARROLLTON, Texas — The City of Carrollton has issued a boil water notice for part of its system after a pressure problem was detected Wednesday morning at the Golden Bear Booster Station.
City officials say Public Works crews identified low water pressure at the station, located at 2408 Tarpley Road, prompting the notice for a nearby commercial and industrial zone.
The affected area is bounded by West Trinity Mills Road, Tarpley Road south to Commander Drive, and extends east to Midway Road and Westgrove Drive/Sojourn Drive.
There are no residential customers within the impacted zone, but several restaurants and businesses are affected.
According to the City, the pressure loss was caused by a malfunction at the booster station. Water pressure has since been restored; however, officials say testing must be completed before the water is deemed safe for consumption.
Officials advise anyone in the affected area to boil water used for drinking, cooking, or ice making. Water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil for at least two minutes and then cooled before use.
Until testing confirms the water is safe, the boil water notice will remain in effect. As an alternative, residents and businesses may use bottled water or obtain water from another safe source.
City crews are continuing to flush affected water lines and collect bacteriological samples. A timeline for lifting the boil water notice has not yet been determined.
The city says it will notify impacted customers when the notice is lifted.
