Water Main Break on Lakeview Drive

About mid-morning September 7, a 16" water main developed a large leak on Lakeview Drive. City crews have been able to isolate and repair the leak. As a result of this, the City has issued a boil water notice until further notice for all residents who are on the city's water system. 

Lakeview is closed to thru traffic between Westlake Woods and Broadway.  Please continue to monitor the website for further updates. The City of Azle greatly appreciates the patience of its water customers as crews continue to work to resolve this issue.
