About Us
YOUR MUNICIPAL WATER IS REGULATED AND MEETS OR EXCEEDS ALL FEDERAL and STATE DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS: This document provides important information about your tap water quality and the efforts made by your water system to deliver safe water. We hope this helps you become better informed about what's in your tap water.
For additional information regarding this report, please contact the City of Mineral Wells Public Works Department at (940) 328-7777. EN ESPANOL: Este reporte incluye información importante Sobre el agua para Tomar. Para Asistencia en español, favor de llama al teléfono (940) 328-7865.
The City of Mineral Wells provides SURFACE water from Lake Palo Pinto, Palo Pinto Creek, and Hilltop Presedimentation Reservoir. Tap water sources include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land or underground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and can pick up substances from animal presence or human activity.
All drinking water, including bottled varieties, may contain small amounts of some contaminants. This doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, call the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Contaminants potentially present in source water include:
- Microbial Contaminants: Viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife
- Inorganic Contaminants: Naturally-occurring salts and metals or those resulting from urban runoff, wastewater discharges, oil/gas production, mining, or farming
- Pesticides and Herbicides: From agriculture, urban runoff, and residential uses
- Organic Chemical Contaminants: By-products of industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, storm runoff, and septic systems
- Radioactive Contaminants: Naturally-occurring or from oil/gas production and mining
EPA regulations limit contaminant levels in public water systems to ensure safety. FDA establishes similar limits for bottled water. Some people may be more vulnerable to certain contaminants, including infants, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. If concerned, consult your healthcare provider.
If present, elevated lead levels can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead typically comes from materials in service lines and home plumbing. Consider flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking if it has been sitting for several hours. For more information on lead in drinking water, visit http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality conducted an assessment of your source water, indicating some sources may be vulnerable to certain contaminants. Contact the City of Mineral Wells Public Works Department at (940) 328-7777 for more information.

City of Mineral Wells Drinking Water Company and EPACity of Mineral Wells Municipal Water Report Information
The Mineral Wells Fire Department was established in 1895 by dedicated community volunteers. The department evolved from bucket brigades to horse-drawn wagons, then gas-powered engines with ladders and pumps, to today's modern diesel apparatus carrying extensive equipment and water supplies.
When Fort Wolters military base was operational, Mineral Wells Fire Department protected the city while military personnel secured the fort. After the military's departure, the department expanded coverage to include the entire city and Fort Wolters area, while also providing supplemental protection to the county.
The department hired its first paid firefighters in 1972: John Gilbert (who had worked for the city since 1956), Eddie Bell, Rudy Purcell, and Moon Mullins. These pioneers worked 12-hour shifts, with John Gilbert later promoted to lieutenant working 8-5 shifts.
The department has had five paid fire chiefs: Jerry VanNatta (1989), followed by Art Verona, Roberts Spears, Robbin Allen, and currently Mike Pool. Chief Pool began his career in Haltom City in 1977, serving there for over 35 years before becoming Mineral Wells' Interim Fire Chief in 2013 after Chief Allen's passing, and accepting the permanent position in 2014.
Communications systems have evolved dramatically. The department initially used a large siren nicknamed "Big Bertha" at the police/fire station, with different numbers of blasts indicating fire locations. This was later replaced by telephone notification systems and eventually modern radio/pager technology integrated with enhanced 911 capabilities.
Firefighting equipment has similarly advanced from basic coats, rain boots and helmets (often personally purchased) to modern bunker gear with vapor barriers, thermal protection, and reflective properties designed to withstand extreme temperatures. Today's firefighters use Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with personal alert systems for safety.
In 2008, the combined paid and volunteer departments responded to approximately 3,000 calls. The department operates from two stations: Station #1 (212 S. Oak Ave) built in 1950, and Station #2 (3701 Industrial Blvd) constructed in 2003.
Emergency medical services were added to the department's responsibilities in 1975, evolving from basic first aid to advanced Mobile Intensive Care Units capable of life-saving procedures including rapid sequence intubation, cricothyroidotomy, and 12-lead EKG monitoring. Staff continuously train to meet certification requirements from both the Department of State Health Services and Texas Commission on Fire Protection.
