The City of Bullard has published a notice of drinking water monitoring and reporting violations to city residents and plans to have Well Five tested in November.

There is nothing resident need to do at this time, the notice says.

"We did not fully complete all monitoring and/or report the results of that monitoring for drinking water contaminates, and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water," the notice states.

City Manager Larry Morgan told the Bullard Banner News last week that the reason Water Well Five was offline was because it sustained damage and was not working.

Although documents from the TCEQ show that a city employee told a field investigator that the well would not be online again until the water well had a new aeration tank, which the city council was going to vote on.

Water tests are scheduled for November of this year.

The city is not using water well five anymore, except in the case of emergencies. Water Well Six is now online, and should give Bullard residents clean water, experts say.
