WATER SUPPLY


A new bipartisan group of Texas lawmakers wants to highlight the stateโ€™s fragile water infrastructure

So far there has been an average of six boil-water notices a day across Texas in 2023.

Midland is the latest Texas city to issue a boil-water notice

Officials said the water levels at the local reservoir were too low to meet safety standards.

Millions of Houston residents are expected to be under a boil water notice until Tuesday after a power outage at a water treatment plant. At least four school districts canceled Monday classes.

An East Texas town must boil its water on Thanksgiving as officials seek a solution to aging infrastructure

Texasโ€™ plan to provide water for a growing population virtually ignores climate change

Texasโ€™ biggest single solution to providing enough water for its soaring population in the coming decades is using more surface water, including about two dozen new large reservoirs. But climate change has made damming rivers a riskier bet.

โ€œA perfect stormโ€: Drought, extreme heat and two faulty wells threaten a North Texas townโ€™s water supply

โ€œWeโ€™re on the brink. Weโ€™re teetering. Itโ€™s a balancing act. Itโ€™s a 50/50 proposition,โ€ said Gunter City Manager Rick Chaffin.

The Odessa water outage underscores a growing problem: Aging pipes in Texas cities are getting more fragile

Texas had 3,866 water boil notices in 2021, the most in the last decade. Aging water systems threaten water supply and quality โ€” and for many small towns across the state, they wonโ€™t be cheap to repair.

Tens of thousands of people in Odessa have endured nearly 48 hours without water to drink, wash or flush toilets

The outage left about 165,000 people without water in Odessa and some surrounding areas. It has been attributed to a main line break in the cityโ€™s aging water system and comes amid a dayslong heat wave.

More than 165,000 people in Odessa still without water after aging line breaks

Officials havenโ€™t specified what caused the break, but say the broken line is about 60 years old.

Rural Texas was meant to get 10% of state bonds for water projects. A report shows itโ€™s getting less than 1%.

Rural Texas communities often donโ€™t have the resources, technical experience, or ability to take on large amounts of debt to pursue state funds for water supply and quality projects. So, many simply donโ€™t apply.

Climate change is making Texas hotter, threatening public health, water supply and the stateโ€™s infrastructure

A report from the state climatologist finds that the state is experiencing hotter days with less relief from high temperatures at night.
