New: Houston is under a boil water notice after a power outage at one of its water treatment plants Sunday morning. According to Houston Public Works, its water system serves 2.2 million customers.
During the outage at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, water pressure at the plant dropped below required minimum levels. Some customers also experienced water pressure issues, but the city said those problems should be resolved.
Gov. Greg Abbott directed state emergency resources to the city to help, and said he has been in contact with Mayor Sylvester Turner. "We’re currently working to fulfill the city’s request for help with rapid turnaround of water sample results,” Abbott said in a statement.Perhaps it goes without saying — but producing quality journalism isn't cheap.
