Because of this delay in communication, residents were under the impression that in spite of the power and water outages caused by the storm, water supply was not disrupted.

With a steady increase in the demand of water, caused in part by Austin Water asking residents to drip their faucets to combat freezing pipes, the water company made a twitter post ensuring residents that everything was OK at the same time that water levels in the city were half of what they normally are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
