Need bottled water? These are distribution sites across Houston as boil-water situation continues

HOUSTONAn estimated 2.2 million people are feeling the effects of a pressure drop at the city’s main water system on Sunday.

As KPRC 2 reported, the pressure dropped below the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s required minimum of 20 PSI during a power outage at the East Water Purification Plant on Nov. 27 at 10:30 a.m. You can read more about the incident here.

As Houston-area residents respond -- boiling water and switching to bottled drinking water -- supply for the bottled water is dwindling in stores.

Here are some of the distribution resources for water we’ve learned about. (This story will be updated as we hear about more events and resources until the issue is resolved.)
