The city of Houston is working overtime to fix more than 1,300 leaks across town.
The problem is a big concern for residents who told KPRC 2 they have been reporting some leaks in or around their neighborhood for several weeks, sometimes even months.
The city is currently in stage 2 of its drought contingency plan, which makes it difficult to understand why some leaks wouldn’t be fixed right away. “We relentlessly made calls. I called Tuesday. It was the last time I tried to call, and it just rang and rang and rang and nobody even answered,” said Heather Davis.
Turner said since June, the city of Houston and its contractors have completed 3,956 work orders for leaks throughout the city.
