Keep Reporting Leaks!
Please call 311 again to report if a leak worsens. Please continue to report new water leaks and sewage leaks as you see them. The intense heat and drought dried up the soil causing water and sewage lines to shift and leak. Cities across Texas are experiencing an increase in pipes breaking.
