Millions of Houstonians awoke Wednesday to a notice from the city that their water was unsafe to drink unless boiled, an impossible task for many residents who continued to suffer power outages from the winter storm.
A large chunk of Houston households had already lost water pressure altogether or had seen their pipes freeze, preventing access to the city’s water system. The crisis extended to key facilities, depriving hospitals and the Harris County Jail of running water. Houston Methodist canceled most non-urgent surgeries and procedures due to the water shortage and may do so again Thursd
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) While millions were without power for days during and after the historic winter storm, there were others like Savannah Thigpeen.
She said she has been doing all she can to conserve electricity, but after just two days of barely any use, she is looking at a bill over $600. Before I went to bed Tuesday night, I got another notification that it was a negative $453, Thigpeen said.
That was after paying nearly $200 on Monday.
Thigpeen lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment in the Spring Branch area.
In November, she switched to Griddy, a Texas wholesale electricity provider. They charge market price for customers based on their personal kilowatt usage.
