WHITEHOUSE, Texas — The City of Whitehouse is asking residents to conserve water.
"Fill lines from our wells and the City of Tyler are frozen," the City announced via Facebook. "We will do our best to maintain water service as long as possible."
If you are without power, the First Assembly of God in Whitehouse, located at 502 TX-110, has heat and power in their fellowship hall. There will also be assistance if you need help getting there.
Tyler Water Utilities is also experiencing a higher than usual number of water main breaks in the city due to the severe weather.
Crews are working 24/7 to maintain and repair the city’s water system.
The city is asking residents to avoid putting undue stress on the water system; by avoiding the use of dishwashers, washing machines, filling up bathtubs or doing anything that requires a large volume of water during this unprecedented event.
TWU crews will notify residents when a water main affects their water service.
Businesses are also asked to conserve water.
If you experience low water pressure and have not been contacted by TWU, contact the Golden Road Water Treatment Plant at (903) 597-6541.
If you see water coming out of the ground indicating a possible water main break, contact the Golden Road Water Treatment Plant at (903) 597-6541.
