SMITH COUNTY, Texas — Smith County officials have continued to receive and distribute water this week that was delivered to East Texas by military planes sent by the state of Texas.
Government agencies, including cities, counties and school districts, as well as nonprofits and other various organizations throughout the region, requested water from the state following last week’s winter storm.
