Water boil order issued for more than 2 million in Houston

The East Water Purification Plant after a boil water notice was issued for the entire city of Houston on Monday, Nov. 28, 2022, in Houston. Officials say more than 2 million people in the Houston area remain under a boil order notice after a power outage caused low water pressure at a water purification plant. The order — which means water must be boiled before it’s used for cooking, bathing or drinking — also prompted schools in the Houston area to close Monday.
