Water should be safe now, but you should follow the instructions to flush each faucet: https://www.cityoflewisville.com/Home/Components/News/News/7718/710

The City of Lewisville has lifted a water boil notice that was issued early Sunday morning, meaning that Lewisville’s water supply is once again confirmed to be safe for consumption.

Water customers who were affected by the boil water notice are urged to flush their home or business water system. A list of recommended steps is attached.

State-mandated water quality test results received early Monday afternoon showed that the water met or exceeded state and federal standards for water safety.

The boil water notice was initiated shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday morning after water service and water pressure suddenly plummeted for thousands of customers in central Lewisville earlier in the night. The cause was determined to be a 30-inch water main that had failed. For reference, it is one of the largest pipes in the City’s water distribution system. Water service was restored within three hours, but the temporary widespread loss of water pressure triggered the boil water notice.

Lewisville’s water system serves a city of more than 137,000 residents and has been recognized as a Superior Public Water System. By the American Public Works Association. The City’s drinking water maintains its rating of Superior Public Water Supply, the highest rating given by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, by meeting and exceeding state and federal standards.
_________________________
After a boil water notice is lifted, there are steps residents should take to ensure the safety of the water in their home.
• Flush all faucets: Run cold water at every tap in your house for at least 5 minutes. This includes sinks, tubs, and showers.
• Flush water heater: Run hot water from a faucet for 40 minutes.
• Discard old ice: Throw away any ice made while the boil water notice was in effect.
• Run an empty dishwasher cycle.
• Refrigerator water dispensers should be flushed according to manufacturer specifications.
• Flush automatic ice makers. Ice cubes should be emptied and run through a 24-hour cycle. Make three batches of ice and discard them.
• Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle.
• Get rid of water in humidifiers, CPAP machines, and other electric devices that collect water. Thoroughly clean all the machines before using them.
• Flush all toilets.

UPDATE (12:45am) - it’s a busted pipe - a really big one. Repairs are starting but it’s gonna take a minute. Once service is restored, expect a boil water notice.

UPDATE - once service is restored (no eta yet) we will have to issue a boil water notice while the tanks fill and the water is tested multiple times. Just letting you know now. The attached map shows the outage area - the large area in light blue.

UPDATE - we’ve confirmed that northwest and far east Lewisville still have water, but a large majority of customers are impacted by this outage. Crews are narrowing the problem as quickly as they can. It is not a power outage at the treatment plant, as has been speculated. We do not know how long it will take to restore service. We’ll post updates here as we get them.

EDIT - please do not call 9-1-1 to report a water issue. We’ve received more than 500 calls in less than an hour and it is tying up emergency lines.

We are aware of an issue currently impacting water service and water pressure in several parts of Lewisville, including Old Town and around Vista Ridge Mall Drive. The exact cause is not yet known. Crews are working to identify and correct the problem as quickly as possible.
