Thousands of water customers in Cedar Park and Leander are under strict water restrictions as crews begin repairs on a leak in the underwater Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority Pipeline.
The pipeline and facility will be shut down during the estimated 14-day repair process, which began Wednesday. The cities will have to rely on other water treatment facilities during that time.Repairs began on the underwater Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority raw intake pipeline in Lake Travis on Wednesday.
Water customers caught violating the restrictions could face a $1,000 fine and possible disconnection for second and subsequent offenses. "For the most part, we have residents looking out for each other. ... They're concerned about their neighbors, they're concerned about having clean water and just getting through this repair the next couple of weeks," DeLisle told KUT."But if we have to turn off some people or fine them $1,000 in order to keep clean drinking water in every household in Leander, then we have that tool in our toolbox now.
