The New York Times reports:
Millions of Houston residents were told Sunday night to boil their water before drinking it after a power outage at a water purification plant caused water pressure to dip and triggered a mandatory boil-water notice, officials said. The order prompted officials in Texas’s largest city to close public schools for at least one day.
Officials said the orders were issued out of an abundance of caution and that they had not received any reports of customers getting sick from drinking contaminated water. The notice prompted the Houston Independent School District and other smaller districts to announce that they would close all of their schools, offices and facilities on Monday.
