After a deadly storm, some Texans must change electric providers while others still don’t have water
For many Texans, basic necessities like clean running water and a stable electricity provider may seem like a pipe dream right now.
At least 29 Texans were killed during the storm. That’s more than half of the 56 weather-related deaths nationally.
While most Texas now have power, some of their electric providers will no longer be available.
And more than 7 million people have water disruptions, including warnings to boil water before using it or having no running water at all.
Sky-high electric bills
The frigid weather caused power use to skyrocket and forced several retail electric providers to leave the market, said Andrew Barlow, spokesperson for the Public Utilities Commission.
