Drought Woes in Texas

South Texas is facing drought conditions, causing soil cracks and water line issues. Infrastructures are struggling to cope. Residents on Doris street experienced low water pressure due to line breaks. 22 main water line breaks and 68 service line breaks have occurred. Aging infrastructure is a year-round challenge, worsened in summers. Bay City Public Works is recruiting and considering contractors to address this. Residents can’t prevent breaks but should be cautious around meter boxes. Report leaks to Public Works.
