Tens of thousands of households and businesses were without power after a four-day cold front ravages Texas.
Dangerous Arctic blast forecast to hit Northeast; some cities to see record-shattering coldAs of about 10:55 a.m. CT, about 241,000 customers across the state did not have power, per outage tracking websiteWhen will power be restored? Austin timeline open-endedJackie Sargent, general manager for Austin Energy, the city's electrical utility, said the situation is challenging because of the complexity of the damage and the obstacles crews are facing.
Austin Water officials assured residents that water operations were healthy, and that no citywide boil-water notice was expected. In the coming days, County Judge Andy Brown said Travis County and Austin leaders will look into making a disaster declaration in hopes of getting additional resources for cleanup efforts and recovery.
“We're looking at ways to help crews speed up the process, because as we get reports back from the roads and the streets of the county, it seems like the number of trees down and debris out there is just massive,” Brown said. “And so, we're looking at declaring a disaster ... and see if that will help us on the cleanup effort.”
