The North Texas Municipal Water District, which serves about 2 million people in the region, asked residents to limit their water use.Hojun ChoiNorth Texas residents are asked to reduce their water usage while a large water supplier for the region conducts “critical maintenance” to a water treatment plant in Wylie.

The district announced in a Saturday news release that it ceased operations at the Wylie water treatment plant — one of six that it maintains. It also asked residents to limit their water use while crews drain and clean “basins” at the plant, which play a significant role in filtering out particles out of the 210 million gallons of water it treats per day.Work was still ongoing as of Sunday afternoon, said Wayne Larson, a spokesman for the water district.

Basins at the Wylie treatment plant were cleaned during winter last year as part of scheduled maintenance, Larson said.
