Paradise Acres Water Outage Prompts TCEQ Probe and Rationing
The Paradise Acres Water System operated by LLWS experiences outages since July 4 due to high demand. A boil water notice remains in effect since July 5 with voluntary rationing requested. TCEQ filed an enforcement action for multiple violations, including insufficient wells, dead-end main flushing, and exceedance of total trihalomethanes. A settlement is pending, LLWS reports restoring water by Tuesday and pursuing a long term fix at Brushy Creek Field with a well driller.
