CRYSTAL CITY, Texas – Residents across Crystal City will be without water Friday morning as crews work to repair a major water line leak.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Officials have not provided an estimated time for when water service will be restored.<\/p>\n
Residents were encouraged to prepare for the outage by storing enough water for drinking, cooking and other essential household needs before the shutdown.<\/p>\n
City officials apologized for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience and cooperation. <\/p>\n
