KILGORE, Texas — UPDATE:
Kilgore residents are beginning to see the return of water after the city experienced "massive water loss" and officials warned of not having services for up to three days.
"Please remember, do not use water if you don't need to, please close your faucets, do not do laundry, shower, bathe, or any other water-intensive use," the City said in a Facebook post. "Also, please remember to boil water for human consumption."
On Thursday, Clay Evers, Kilgore Director of Public Works, said the "prognosis is not good," for the state of the water main breaks.
Evers says the city hopes to find the source(s) within 24 hours and repair them within two days.
No word has been given on the state of the main breaks.
Citizens should not expect the boil notice to be rescinded for another week or more while the system refills and is in compliance with disinfection and pressure requirements.
