Water main break prompts street flooding in SW Houston, officials say
ABC13 reported earlier this month about how the city has seen an increase in water leaks and main breaks as the intense heat continues.
Houston Public Works said dry conditions, increased water usage, and aging pipes have led to an increase in water leaks.
