The Texas Tribune..."The water system indicated that the water level in their only active well has dropped to the point the pumps are pulling air, the well recovery is very slow, and the system's distribution pressure has decreased significantly," the TCEQ statement said. "On June 6, 2013, the water system issued a boil water notice as a precautionary measure due to the low water pressure. The water system is in the process of receiving approval from the Water Supply Division for a previously used well."
Barnhart is not the first Texas community to run short of water. Early last year, wells failed for the community of Spicewood Beach, near Austin, which then began trucking in water.
About 30 communities statewide could run out of water by the end of the year, according to a list compiled by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
