For Tiffany Derry, the rolling blackouts were more predictable at the restaurant than at her house. The Plano chef lives five minutes away from her restaurant, Roots Chicken Shak, and while the electricity “didn’t want to roll back on” at home, she knew she had just enough time at the restaurant to shuffle ingredients into the biggest cooler in the kitchen. Crucially, this meant she didn’t lose those supplies, and while the restaurant did have a few water lines break, she was able to start cooking on Wednesday, February 17. “We were going to just do free food for anyone who wanted a hot meal,” she says. “We ended up rolling out some chicken and dumplings; we did some beef and vegetable soup. Anybody who needed just came and got some.”

Austin Water said production and delivery are now surpassing demand, so more water is going into reservoirs. Officials say customers could see improved service by the end of the weekend. The city and county began distributing water to shelters and was working to get it to hard hit communities.
