Nearly 14M Texans experiencing water issues as leaders investigate skyrocketing utility bills

Millions of Texans are experiencing water issues, and many are reporting exorbitant utility bills following uncharacteristic winter weather in the Lone Star State.

As many as 13.7 million residents of the state are without water stability on Sunday, and many affected are under an advisory to boil their water, media relations specialist for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Greg Rasp, told the Washington Examiner. A total of 1,300 systems throughout 198 Texas counties have been compromised and have reported “disruptions in service.”
