Boil Water Notice Rescinded May 17, 2021

On May 13, 2021 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the City of Leonard public water system, TX 0740005 to issue a Boil Water Notice to inform customers, individuals, or employees that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of May 17, 2021

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Woody Patrick at 903- 587-3334.

The eight-inch water main was repaired, thus, restoring the City water pressure.

Dear Leonard Residents: Spraying for Mosquitos will begin every Monday at Dusk, weather permitting. Thank you.

Dear City of Leonard Water Customers,

On this month’s water bills, you will notice the City has issued a 10% credit to each water account per our previous notification.  The discount is based on the full amount of your last bill which covered the time of freezing temperatures (bill date 3/8).  We understand the inclement weather may have caused instances of service interruption, undue consumption, or other hardship beyond your control affecting your February water bill.  It is our hope this credit helps to alleviate any resulting effects of the weather during the last billing period.

1. Water bills for the February-March billing period have been mailed, and should be delivered this week. 
2. E-bills were uploaded yesterday afternoon for accounts enrolled in electronic billing through the E-Commerce website.
3. ACH drafts typically drawn on the 1^st of the month are being drafted on or around the 7^th.
4. ACH drafts typically drawn on the 15^th of the month are being drafted on or around the 15^th.
5. Due dates have been extended to 4/20 for this bill only.
6. Late fees will apply to payments received after 4/20.
7. If you do not receive your bill, please contact City Hall and we will be happy to get you a copy. 

We apologize for any confusion this may cause and appreciate your patience while we return to our regular billing cycle.

At this current time, the City wants you to be aware of a few things regarding Utility Billing.

• Due to the inclement weather interrupting billing operations, the utility bills for the January-February period will be delayed this month.  Bills are normally mailed the last week of the month and are due by the 15^th of the following month.  We are estimating that you will receive your bill approximately one week later than usual.
• There will be added considerations for the utility bills including service dates January 15 through February’s bill date.  We understand several weather-related situations may be impacting your bill this month and the City will do its best to accommodate those situations. 
• Due to the above, the late date (in March) will also be extended.  Please stay tuned for more specific dates and details as we work through the aftermath this situation.
• The utility bills for the billing period of December 15 through January 15, which were due February 15^th, are still due and payable, and are subject to regular fees and penalties (although delayed). 

We apologize for any inconvenience and confusion, and we thank you for your patience and cooperation as we recover from this extreme weather event.

Thanks,

The City of Leonard
