Residents in Valley View, Texas, are being urged to conserve water following a malfunction at one of the city's water wells. Repairs commenced on Thursday and are anticipated to last one to two days.
While the city's reserve water tanks are currently at capacity, officials are requesting that residents restrict their water consumption to maintain adequate supplies for essential household needs, public safety, and emergency services during the repair process. Restrictions include prohibiting lawn watering, filling pools, washing vehicles unless necessary, and cleaning paved surfaces. Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary water usage.
Cooke County Emergency Services indicated that while contractors expect repairs to take one to two days, this timeframe may be subject to change. They do not foresee any boil water notices at this time but will provide updates should the situation evolve. Officials stressed that unnecessary water usage could exacerbate the issue, urging residents to remain informed for further developments.
Princeton is about 7 miles east of McKinney.
