Waterchick, thanks for posting here. Do you know the status of the line break that was supplying Wellborn Water? There are a bunch of us with no water still this AM.
Edit: Just got this alert:
Alert from Wellborn Special Utility District: RESTORING WATER
Date: Feb 18, 2021
Wellborn Special Utility District has partially restored water production and we are currently attempting to fill our tanks.
We are requesting all customers immediately discontinue all water usuage to allow the tanks to build pressure.
We will continue to keep you updated.
Thank you.
Good news. Thanks for posting. We are not there but on our way.
Now that the rolling power outages are over maybe folks in the rural areas can get their water back from Wickson & Wellborn.

I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.

Speaking of Wellborn water, did Bear X by the Barracks drain their big pool prior to the big freeze or are they trying to keep the water moving until it warms up? I think they're on that system.

Barracks residents are using that pool to fill their toilet tanks with water....
Hope there's not a fire out there. T&P for our rural VFDs making do with low or no water pressure.

It'll do in a pinch, for sure.
We were fortunate that our pipes were good even though we lost power in the midtown area, good insulation job came through for us.
Hopefully all the pumps can go full bore now and the leaks can get repaired.

Can anyone in Bryan confirm that water pressure is still low? Coming out of my kitchen faucet but a trickle. Bathroom flows are fine on hot, low on cold.
And the same for Wickson? Ours is more than a trickle, but still a third of normal

I was home (Steep Hollow Cir) late morning to get my pipe fixed. Nothing coming out of any sink.
FlyRod - are you on City of Bryan's system, or Wickson? I had thought Bryan's system had improved - but I don't work for them so I don't have any official information.
Bryan's system. I just checked the outdoor faucets and they are fine, normal flow. Hoping it's just a temp thing, or a city thing, and not a mystery burst pipe.
Ours in central Bryan isn't low at all...we're capable of running as normal.FlyRod said:

Wellborn still not a drop.
Ok just unscrewed the washer on end of tap and now water coming out full blast like normal. Yup I'm an idiot.
Email update from Wickson just now:

Now that electricity has been restored%2c we have been able to check equipment at plant sites. Well motors are burnt up at 2 wells sites. We are in the process of replacing one motor now and trying to locate a 2nd motor for the other well. We are also talking with the City of Bryan about purchasing water from them when they have capacity. Our crews are working around the clock to restore service as soon as possible. We will issue another update as soon as more information is known. We are still under a boil water notice. Please call the office for emergencies only. Thank you for your patience.
My water pressure in SE Bryan never dropped perceptibly, but I hooked up a pressure gauge yesterday and it read 79 psi. Just checked again and it's now 91. Back in the summer, it was 96 psi.
I think standard residential supply is 60, so still well above that (and probably a bit high in the "normal" summer state).
