Texas city strictly limits water consumption as thousands across state face water shortages - Lemmy.world

A small Texas city west of Austin remains under tight water restrictions amid a significant drought. After days of being at the highest emergency level for water conservation, officials said Monday that those restrictions have only slightly been loosened, limiting water consumption to “indoor use only” until further notice.

Texas: no water and AC in the summer, no heat and electricity in the winter

As an outsider I assume it’s because their ‘independant’ (read: under-regulated) power grid collapses every time all that stuff turns on.
