HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston Public Works says Friday night's rainfall caused the spill of tens of thousands of gallons of wastewater at multiple locations.

These locations include North Travis near University of Houston Downtown, Wrightwood near North Freeway, and the Eastex Freeway near Parker.

If you're using private drinking wells in these areas, you are urged to boil the water before use. As for water provided by the city, that is still safe to use without boiling.
