Texas storm: About 390,000 Texans are still under boil water advisories from the winter storm CNN 3/2/2021 By Hollie Silverman, CNN © David J. Phillip/AP Nancy Wilson boils water in her home in Houston on February 19, 2021.
About 390,000 Texas residents were still under boil water advisories as of midday Monday, almost two weeks after a winter storm slammed large swaths of the South.
The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) website shows there are 399 active boil water notices in effect on Monday, while 1,780 notices have already been lifted.
While many people have gone without water for more than a week, those who have had their service resumed are trying to give back.
Over half a million Texans remain under boil water advisories a week after a winter storm brutalized the south
Over half a million Texans are still under boil water notices more than a week after a winter storm brutalized large swaths of the south, leaving millions without water and power for days.
A total of 509,206 people were still impacted by boil water notices as of Sunday night, with 458 boil water notices in effect, according to the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ). An additional 1,709 boil water notices serving over 17 million Texans have been lifted, the agency said.
“Even though the power is on and the water pressure is normalized, there are thousands of homes and apartments that have been affected because of busted pipes,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a press release Sunday. “They still do not have water, so there is a tremendous need.”
