UPDATE: Houston officials lift boil-water order that affected more than 2 million people and led to the closure of businesses and schools.
Tuesday that had called for more than 2 million people in the nation’s fourth-largest city to boil their tap water before drinking or using it.
The order led to the closure of businesses and schools, including the Houston Independent School District, which canceled classes Monday and Tuesday. The city rescinded the order shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday. At a news conference Monday, Mayor Sylvester Turner said the city issued the notice, which affects all of Houston and some adjacent areas, in an “abundance of caution” after two transformers — a main one and its backup — “uniquely and coincidentally” failed at a water plant. The problem affected the plant’s ability to treat and pump water into the transmission system, resulting in low pressure.
