When units flooded at the Townhomes at Double Creek in Round Rock, families had to try to sweep out water with whatever they could.
Some of those residents are refugees from Afghanistan and are dealing with this after escaping the Taliban.
"We need help to - new and good home. My mother, she can't cook in this home, because this home is full of water. We need help," resident Qaribullah Shafir Khan said."People are scared," he said about the time. "It's just particularly sad for those of us who have been helping these Afghan families, because they have been unsettled for so long," she said.
For now, the family uses bottled water, and they fill buckets with water from a spigot on another building.FOX 7 Austin reached out to property management but haven't heard back. Residents did get a notice that says management is diligently working on getting the situation fixed, and there's an emergency water shut-off in certain buildings through Monday. There will also be contractors on site. Management is also paying each household $20 a day to buy water.
