Slowly but surely, the water pressure is back in my home. I probably have about 40% water pressure back. The water is a clear brown color, and dirt even came in out of the faucet in my bathtub. That's because the water tanks that hold reservoir water for our city was nearly empty and dirt got into the busted water lines. When most of the pressure is back, I'll be able to run the water until it clears up.
I commend our city workers. They've been working on the busted city lines since around 4 a.m. this morning. I know the Mayor in my town very well. He actually called me to check on me, and one of the officers at the Police Dept. also called me to make sure I had what I needed.
That's how it is in our town. The Mayor and others like the police dispatcher actually call the people in Mansfield like the disabled and elderly to make sure they're okay in emergency situations. I brought this up because I found out after watching The Talk on CBS that Senator Ted Cruz is in Cancun, Mexico on vacation while all the devastation is going on in Texas.
He mentioned there wasn't much he could do, but he's supposed to be coming back today????? What a jerk!!!! He wasn't even thinking about the state of Texas or doing anything about the emergency situation!! I'm so thankful that I live in a small city like mine where the Mayor and even the Police Dept. care about the citizens enough to call and check on them!! All I can say is screw you, Ted Cruz!! Forgive me about that, but it sort of pisses me off that he's so nonchalant about this emergency situation!!
I'm fine as far as drinking water goes. I have two gallons of drinking water, and my brother brought me two 2 liters of Sprite and a 2 liter coke. I've run the water some and it's slowly clearing up. I've stopped for now since water pressure isn't 100 % yet.
