In El Campo, summer heat is causing water supply lines to burst twice a day due to ground shifts. Crews are working under the scorching sun to fix them. The city has water usage restrictions in place, triggered if demand surpasses availability. Thankfully, that hasn’t occurred yet. Despite breaks, water supply remains stable, with over 20 repairs made. While residents and businesses water lawns and deal with breaks, demand hasn’t hit conservation trigger levels. Officials advise water-conservation during this dry period. Preventing line breaks is tough, but keeping soil moist around pipes can help.
