‘Happening for three weeks’: Residents say southwest Houston water main break is impacting daily activities

The water filling the street on South Braeswood near Chimney Rock is not from rain, it is from a water main break.

Frank Placencia lives on the street. He said the dirty water filling the road has led to car accidents. HPD told KPRC 2 officers responded to one wreck on August 14.

Neighbors have also experienced lower water pressure because of the leak. A neighbor, who wants to remain anonymous, said it is impacting daily activities. According to the city’s 311 data, since August 31, there have been more than 1,000 water related complaints. Those include water main valves, water quality and water leaks. Data shows there are currently more than 700 active cases. Mayor Sylvester Turner previously blamed water leaks, increased water usage and global warming for the low water pressure across the city. He said the city hired outside contractors to help public works crews make repairs.
