Lazy ass people running to the store to hoard bottled water rather than just boil a pot or two as you need it.

This is something a sanctimonious lazy person would say after they went to a few stores and realized they were late hoarding and had to go home and boil their own water.

just got a new notice from Ready Harris - sort of seems like the boil notice as not been rescended as of yet. Anyone else get the notice?

City leadership is proof that employment quotas don't work
The Public Works director is too concerned about sending employees to day-long mandatory kumbaya sessions where they get told how much leadership respects them and trusts them, how transparent they are, and how much integrity they have.


Have any insight into an investigation associated with the director or deputy director of HPW? Had some severely subpar work in my neighborhood that they executed that turned into emails with my city council member and director/deputy director of HPW. I submitted a TPIA request for their internal emails and they filed with the state saying the emails were part of an investigation so they were requesting not to release them. It's still pending a decision by the AG office but I've been curious.

Hardly. Just interesting watching people bulk up.

This isn't a natural disaster situation where if you don't have power you can't boil water.

Boil it, pour it in a pitcher, throw it in the fridge and keep on keeping on.

There's no need to be buying up mass amounts of water.

When the new project management building opened six months behind schedule, crews discovered that the water line they planned to use was dry. A $100,000 system of temporary tanks and pipes will provide water to the building for the next six to nine months until a new $500,000 permanent pipe can be installed.

In my experience, COH will do anything and everything they can to avoid releasing records under TPIA, even make up fake reasons for why they can't be released. I had a request from a year ago go to the AG's office, and the AG said they had to release some of the records. They still never produced them because they know it's not worth it to sue to get them.

Just pause and consider how dumb the average person is, then consider that half the population is even dumber.

Pro tip: You can usually walk into the nearest ghetto convenience store and find plenty of bottled water (or whatever beverage of your choice) when the grocery stores are on a run of panic buying.

I just went to the nearest no-name Valero station to pick up for my elderly parents who watch the TV news, and they had stacks of cases, multiple brands, no line.

I brushed my teeth and showered during the low-pressure water crisis of Greg Abbot's Icepocalypse 2021, and I turned out just fine.

If you've ever purified yourselves in the waters of Galveston beach (for even 5 minutes), you'll be fine.

It has been resolved. But TCEQ doesn't have a test for we are the largest city in Texas and need an answer immediately. You wait 2-3 days like everyone else.

Well earlier word was 3 am. Keeps getting pushed back

I have a family member who works for a service provider for a handful of local MUDs. Word is that the backup generators didn't kick on immediately and 14/16 pressure points were below 20 psi for 2 mins. The other 2 were below 20 for 30 mins.

His input is that's not the whole story and there had to have been some kind of catastrophic failure because power would've had to be down for a long time for the pressure to drop from 65 to 20 psi and then be below 20 for a 30 mins.
