Residents in South Horseshoe Bay and Horseshoe Bay Proper may notice a SAMCO utility truck on neighborhood streets this week. The City of Horseshoe Bay announced that the contractor began its final phase of water-system leak detection on Monday, October 26, and expects to continue through Friday, October 30.
According to the city's public alert, crews are inspecting portions of the water system for hidden leaks and potential weak points. The effort is designed to identify water loss that may not be apparent at the surface, helping the city prioritize maintenance and conservation.
The city specifically identified South Horseshoe Bay and Horseshoe Bay Proper as the primary areas of focus. Residents seeing the contractor's truck should not mistake its presence for an unrelated construction project or emergency response.
For homeowners, the practical point is that some utility inspections can happen before a visible pipe failure. Locating problems early may help reduce wasted treated water and guide future repairs, although the city has not announced results from this week's inspection.
The city's notice does not establish that any particular home or street has a leak. Residents should rely on direct city notices for any subsequent service interruption or repair work.
