Ongoing repairs to a “significant” water line leak in Kempner left nearly all residents of the city without water Friday as the Kempner Water Supply Corporation says “the water loss is proving to be more widespread than anticipated.”

A main line leak on the concrete transmission line on U.S. Highway 190 occurred sometime Wednesday, according to information posted on the water supply’s website. The leak affects all customers from County Road 4807 (near the eastern border of Kempner) to Lampasas who receive water from the transmission line.
