Amid extreme cold weather that has resulted in possible low or no water pressure and main breaks, New Braunfels Utilities has issued a boil-water notice for customers in its service area.
According to Melissa Krause, chief communications and strategy officer for NBU, the organization has received widespread reports of low water pressure and outages throughout its service area.
Water system demands are currently at summertime levels, according to an NBU press release, which has outstripped NBU's pumping capacity given rotating outage constraints and weather-related equipment issues.
Main breaks are assumed to be the cause of high demand, and residents are encouraged to report water running in the street by calling 830-608-8800. Residents are also encouraged to cease dripping in-home water faucets at this time.
