All public schools in Houston will be closed after the city issued a boil water notice due to a loss of water pressure at a purification plant
The Houston Independent School District said on Twitter it is monitoring the situation and will provide additional updates Monday. “Earlier today, the water pressure dropped below the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s required minimum of 20 PSI during a power outage at the East Water Purification Plant,” a Sunday news release from the city said.
“We believe the water is safe but based on regulatory requirements when pressure drops below 20 psi we are obligated to issue a boil water notice,” the office of Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said on Twitter Sunday night. A water sample plan has been sent to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality , according to Erin Jones, Houston Public Works Public information officer. That water sample plan could be approved by TCEQ Sunday night or Monday morning, she said.
