BELTON, Texas (AP) — Officials at Fort Hood and in several Central Texas cities have issued water conservation alerts after a weekend work crew struck a large water line serving much of the region, leading to the loss of 20 million gallons of water.
The accident Saturday in Belton led Copperas Cove to limit water use by residents to “essential” needs only, prompted other cities such as Killeen and Harker Heights to issue similar alerts, and Fort Hood to order that all tap water be boiled.
