Mesquite lifts boil water notice to water customers

The City of Mesquite lifted the boil water notice issued on Feb. 17. However, increased demand on the system will impact the water supply and the city is requesting all residents to take conservation measures. This was a water pressure issue, not a water quality issue. There is no need to flush lines or dispose of ice. The public is directed to call Water Utilities Dispatch at 972-216-6278 for the latest on the need for conservation or if they experience any disruption in water services to their home. Learn more about the conservation guidelines.
