Millions of Texans still without clean waterMany Texans found themselves left in the dark and the cold after a winter storm battered the state. As of Tuesday, eight million Texans had issues with their water supply as busted frozen pipes compromised water mains across the state. Officials said the damage done to infrastructure was substantial.
“We estimate there were probably tens of thousands of private breaks at homes and businesses,†Austin Water Director Greg Meszaros said. “And many of these were large with fire lines and other large infrastructure breaking on the private side. So, substantial damage to the public distribution system and private plumbing and a lot of work ahead to clean those up.â€
According to reports, roughly 25,000 residents were left without running water. Those who did have water said it was yellow and undrinkable.
As a result, a Fort Worth brewery hopped into action to provide clean water to the community.“Because we have the equipment to be able to make gallons and gallons of whatever liquid we need to,†Cowtown Brewery employee Madison Thompson said. “We can just boil a ton of water and give it to whoever needs it, basically within a few hours.â€............
