Whether it's too much water or too little, high pressure or low pressure, or simply just the wrong form, water has been a huge issue for Texans during this ongoing catastrophe. For firefighters at the San Antonio Fire Department, low water pressure because of the cold has meant they have to do more with less. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo called the low water pressure "an enormous problem" for hospitals, and asked the community to stop dripping faucets in an effort to keep the water pressure up. "Once we go through our bottled water, our only drinking water option will be snow, until our water comes back or the stores are able to open." Even once the water comes back, the city will be on a boil water advisory, a statement said.
