A boil water notice issued Thursday for parts of far north Fort Worth was rescinded Friday morning, according to city officials.
Officials released a statement, saying they took the necessary steps to restore adequate pressure and provided the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality with testing results that indicate the water no longer requires boiling.
"Forty-six samples were collected, and the lab results were that all were negative for coliform bacteria," the release stated. [[367802191,C]]
The notice was issued at about 2 a.m. Thursday after officials said a water tower on Harmon Road drained in error Wednesday night. The problem lasted only for about 10 minutes, but bacteria in ground water can seep into the pipes when they depressurize.
The affected area was bordered by Sendera Ranch Boulevard on the north, Willow Springs Road on the west, Haslet city limits on the east and Bonds Ranch Road on the south. The boil water notice also included the Trails of Fossil Creek and the Fossil Hill subdivisions.
City officials estimated 3,500 customers, mostly homes, were impacted. However, with so much growth in the area Carman said it may be as high as 5,000.
