Meter Reading Instructions

All water meters installed within the District were tested for accuracy prior to installation as per American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards.

Section E, 20(a) The Customer shall provide access to the meter as per the easement and service agreement. If access to the meter is hindered or denied preventing the reading of the meter, an estimated bill shall be rendered to the Customer for the month; a notice shall be sent to the effect that access could not be gained. If access is denied for three (3) consecutive months after proper notification to the Customer, then service may be discontinued and the meter removed with no further notice.

If a customer notices an 'E' next to the current reading on the bill then the bill was estimated. If the bill was estimated please contact the office with the current reading on the water meter (instructions below on how to read the meter). You can either call the district's office at (817)220-7707 option 5 or email a picture of the meter reading to billing@walnutcreeksud.org.

Flow Rate Specs for all residential meters can be viewed under Related Documents on the Leak Detection section of the website.

Boil Water Notice for Walnut Creek SUD

11/19/24

Due to a water main break and pressure loss, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Walnut Creek SUD, PWS 1840008 public water system to notify customers who live on Jaybird Lane between Springfield Road and Hwy 199, to include Amanda Lane, Cora Ct, and Lilly Ct. to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions).

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.

In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Perry Day or James Blackwood at 817-220-7707 or at 1155 West Hwy 199, Springtown Texas
