ENNIS, Texas — Water operations are back to normal in the Ellis County city of Ennis after an electrical transformer blew out at the area's water plant, officials said. However, residents are still being asked to conserve water until Wednesday morning.
The city posted a message on Facebook about the issue on Tuesday afternoon.
"We are currently unable to pump fresh water to the towers causing a need for conservation until we are able to resolve the issue," the city said.
The city told WFAA that it believed the transformer went out due to extreme heat.
At around 9:25 p.m. Tuesday, the city said the water system was back to normal operations. The city said it was still asking residents to conserve water until 8 a.m. Wednesday so that the system can get fully caught up.
It's the second time in two months that the city of Ennis has dealt with water issues. Back in early May, the city issued a boil water notice after a power outage at the water plant.
