Alice Begins Water Main Repairs on Nopal Street, Temporary Service Interruptions Expected

Repair crews dispatched by the City of Alice broke ground on a water main pipe replacement along Nopal Street, between Dewey Street and Sandstone Street, with the work window running through Tuesday, March 31.

The project carries a daily rhythm that residents on that stretch of Nopal should plan around: crews arrive at 8 a.m. each morning, and anyone in the affected area may face interrupted water service or low pressure from that point until 5 p.m., or until the day's repairs are finished. The city posted a public advisory on March 25, 2026 alerting neighbors to the schedule before work began.

City officials describe the project as part of ongoing maintenance to ensure the reliability of Alice's water infrastructure, rather than an emergency response. Officials say crews are actively working to address the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to restore normal service, and they have asked residents for patience while the repairs are underway.

The seven-day construction window gives crews from Wednesday through the following Tuesday to complete the job. No contingency timeline for work that extends past March 31 was included in the city's advisory.
