LUFKIN, Texas — After a day without water, Lufkin residents can expect their services to be returned by Thursday afternoon, officials say.
A boil notice is still in effect.
Water services were lost yesterday after too much demand drained the reserves while the water treatment center struggled to keep power.
While residents are waiting for water to return, the city is organizing a water drive with Brookshire Brothers on the north side of the Pitser Garrison Convention Center (601 N. Second St.).
Citizens can drive through and pick up two cases of water per vehicle at no cost. The drive will begin at 11 a.m. Thursday.
