KELLER, Texas — The city of Keller shut off water to 90 properties near Mount Gilead Road after a private contractor hit a water line, causing a leak.
The shutoff will impact homes on ten streets in north Keller, according to a social media post from the city of Keller. Homes on the following streets may be impacted:
- Clear Brook Drive
- Edgemere Drive
- Hibiscus Drive
- Meadow Creek Drive
- Mt. Gilead Road
- Penny Lane
- Ridgeway Drive
- Rock Springs Drive
- Stegall Drive
- Split Rock Drive
Keller Public Works responded to the leak Monday night on Mt. Gilead Road between Stegall Drive and Penny Lane, the city said in the post. A private contractor working on a telecommunications installation bored into a water line, causing it to spill 5,000 gallons of water per minute, the city said.
As of 9:40 p.m. Monday, Nov 25, 200 homes were experiencing low water pressure and some had no water at all.
As of 12:45 a.m. Tuesday, Nov 26, 90 properties were without water and officials could not provide an estimate for when water will be restored, according to the post.
"While water shutoffs like these are always emergencies, we understand the additional stress created by losing water during the week of a holiday with children home from school and friends and family coming into town," the post states.
The Keller Pointe will open at 5 a.m. Tuesday, offering shower facilities to anyone in the impacted area, the post states.
