There was a mechanical failure at a pumping station that caused the districts to lose water service for more than two hours on Tuesday.
The water has been restored, but samples need to be tested. A boil water notice was issued until those test results are known.
Atascocita Springs and Eagle Springs elementary schools in the Humble Independent School District are included in the boil water area. The school district sent letters home to parents to let them know about changes that will be in effect at the schools until the boil water notice is lifted.
