Arlington’s water supply back to normal after Tarrant water district pipeline break
Arlington residents can resume their regularly scheduled watering program Wednesday after the Tarrant Regional Water District supplied the city with an alternate source of water.
It comes a day after a TRWD pipeline near U.S. 287 in Mansfield broke, spilling raw water onto a nearby roadway and causing traffic delays.
The city asked residents Tuesday not to use sprinklers, not to fill up their bathtubs with water, and to limit household water usage until 10 a.m. Wednesday while the water district works to fix the pipeline.
The district switched the city to an alternate source Wednesday morning, but needed time to refill city water towers and other storage systems, according to a city press release.
The city repeated its apology Wednesday for inconveniencing Arlington residents, while assuring them their water is still safe to drink.
