About 90 properties near Keller are still without water Tuesday after a water line was ruptured near Mt. Gilead Road Monday afternoon, Keller Public Works says. A private contractor installing telecommunication equipment dug into and ruptured a 16-inch water line, dumping about 5,000 gallons of water per minute. Although the break was isolated, the city initially estimated that about 200 homes were affected by low or no water pressure. On Tuesday morning, that number had dropped by more than half. The remaining impacted properties without water are on the following streets: Clear Brook Drive Edgemere Drive Hibiscus Drive Meadow Creek Drive Mt. Gilead Road Penny Lane Ridgeway Drive Rock Springs Drive Stegail Drive Split Rock Drive City officials said they expected to have an estimate on when repairs will be completed on Tuesday after overnight testing. Keller’s recreation center, The Keller Pointe, at 405 Rufe Snow Drive, will be offering shower facilities for anyone in the impacted area until 10 p.m. Tuesday. Traffic will be limited near the water break Tuesday morning on Mt. Gilead, near Bourland Road and Marshall Ridge Parkway. “While water shutoffs like these are always emergencies, we understand the additional stress created by losing water during the week of a holiday, with children home from school and friends and family coming into town,” Keller officials say. “Please know that we are working diligently to get this problem resolved.”
