Houston health officials ordered a mandatory boil water notice for the entire city Friday after a break in a pipe that provides 50% of Houston's water on Thursday sent drivers on a flooded freeway scrambling onto the top of their cars.
Turner told reporters that private contractors, attempting to repair a minor leak, were moving soil around the 96-inch water main in east Houston when it broke around noon Thursday. Fire chief Samuel Peña also said tanker trucks were deployed around the affected areas of the city because of concern that lower water pressure could disrupt normal firefighting capabilities.
