CRYSTAL CITY, Texas – Residents across Crystal City will be without water Friday morning as crews work to repair a major water line leak.
City officials said water service was scheduled to be shut off across the entire city beginning at 10 a.m. after workers were unable to locate the shut-off valve needed to isolate the damaged section of the water line.
Because the valve could not be found, the city said it had to use the main shut-off valve, requiring a temporary shutdown of water service to all customers while repairs are completed.
Officials have not provided an estimated time for when water service will be restored.
Residents were encouraged to prepare for the outage by storing enough water for drinking, cooking and other essential household needs before the shutdown.
City officials apologized for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience and cooperation.
