The North Texas Municipal Water District is asking residents to reduce their water use immediately after its Wylie Water Treatment Plant Complex ceased production unexpectedly, the district announced in a press release Saturday.
Critical maintenance is required to return the plant back to full water purification capacity. In the meantime, conservation of water, especially outdoors, is encouraged until further notice.
This request is due to water production quantity and not quality, the district added. The water is safe to drink and use. The North Texas Municipal Water District supplies significant amounts of water to residents of Collin, Rockwall, North Dallas and Kaufman County.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
