The City of Houston has no water.
A water main that supplies 50% of our water? Has broken.
Flooding has happened.
It crazy.
This was avoidable.
Our infrastructure is crumbling.🏚
Our federal government has allowed it.
We should be angry.
Heard about a water main break... is Houston pregnant or something?

There's three water plants for all of Houston (Kingwood, Clear Lake, Ship Channel). My bet is this has taken one of these completely off the system. FUN!
