"The water that they are receiving is very safe to drink and absolutely meets all requirements," Lacy Lakeview city manager Calvin Hodde said.

While the city had several violations previously reported, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) confirms these issues are now in compliance.

The city is encouraging residents to sign up for the OnSolve system to receive alerts, which is how they distributed this report.
"This is not any type of emergency or anything to be alarmed about, but it is public information, and that lets the citizens know that they can go onto our website and see that water report. And it also gives us the opportunity to any anything that we need to get out to the citizens for their knowledge," Hodde said.
Along with Lacy Lakeview, other municipalities have released their annual water quality reports.
The TCEQ advises that customers can stay informed about their public water systems year-round by accessing the Texas Drinking Water Watch website's live database.
