According to Houston ISD, Milby and Chavez high schools and Deady Middle School were the ones impacted by the water main break.

"Students are safe and the instructional day is continuing normally at this time," the district said in a statement, in part.

HISD said it took all of the following precautions as a result: bottled drinking water, portable restrooms, and bag lunches.

Although the district said it didn't plan to dismiss the campuses early, parents were allowed to pick up their kids early, and all after-school activities were canceled at Deady.

It's unclear how long the repairs will take.
