WATER BACK ON IN OAK HILL ACRES

  

The water is back on in a Brenham subdivision.

Over 150 homes in the Oak Hill Acres subdivision were without running water since Sunday afternoon – but their service was restored Monday night.

Officials with PGMS….the company responsible for maintaining the Oak Hill Water District system…say the residents of Oak Hill Acres are under a boil water notice until further notice.

Michael Connally with PGMS says some bolts apparently sheared off between the pump and motor, causing the pump to fail.

Work began in late 2015 on a backup water well for the water district, but it has not been completed.

Oak Hill Water District has been plagued with pump failures at their current well, prompting the need for a backup well.

A meeting of the Oak Hills Water District Board of Directors is scheduled for Tuesday at 5:00 at the EMS building on Highway 290.  The meeting is open to all residents of Oak Hill Acres.
