One of the largest water providers in North Texas is asking its customers to conserve water for the next few days as it works to make critical repairs.All North Texans are dealing with dangerous heat, and many are being asked to conserve water this week.
"Every drop counts. Whatever anyone can do to conserve water. It's always to have good conservation habits year round. Anything anyone can do to lessen their use of water within the home especially their outdoor water use – landscapes, irrigation – will help us all rally for this regional issue," said Wayne Larson, the spokesman for NTMWD.FOX 4 Weather meteorologist Evan Andrews talks about temperatures that will reach as high as 108 and 109.
So far, ERCOT is not asking for conservation measures, but that could change later in the day. Fortunately, wind generated power should be in pretty good supply this week.Solar and wind power could save Texas power grid
