BREWERIES HAVE ALSO JOINED IN ON THIS EFFORT YOU CAN FIND THEIR HOURS AND PICK UP AT
KSAT DOT COM.
>> CLEARLY STILL A LOT
OF PEOPLE OUT OF FAMILIES WITH
NO WATER LOW WATER PRESSURE AND
WITHOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF
TREE COUPLE WATER.
>> JOINING US IN TODAY’S
LEADING SA SEGMENT IS THE
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE SAN
ANTONIO WATER SYSTEM. ROBERT
QUINN THINK GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING MASK, A MORNING
SIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US THAT WE’VE DISCUSSED
IT BEFORE, BUT FOR ANYONE HE
MAY HAVE MISSED THIS PAST WEEK.
>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE REASONS
FOR WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WERE
WITHOUT WATER.
>> QUITE SIMPLY IF YOU DON’T
HAVE POWER TO MOVE WATER, NOT
GOING
TO HAPPEN. YOU SAW THOSE YOUR
PRIOR STORIES CARRYING WATER
WATER IS VERY
VERY HEAVY AND A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF POWER IS NEEDED TO
MOVE THAT WATER INTO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD SO DURING THE
BLACKOUTS OR PUMP STATIONS
WOULD GO OUT INABILITY TO MOVE
THAT WATER.
>> AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LOSING
WATER FROM BUSTED PIPES HAVING
TO RUN THEIR FOSSETT’S FOR YOU
KNOW 3 TO 4 DAYS STRAIGHT.
SO WHAT WILL THIS PAST WEEK
MEAN FOR PEOPLE’S FUTURE WATER
BILLS.
>> WE HAVE DECIDED
THAT THE LOWER OF THE 2 MONTHS
THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS IS
WHAT WHAT YOU WILL PAY SO
THE MAJORITY OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE LOST
WATER THROUGH BROKEN PIPES.
IT WILL NOT AFFECT THEM
AT ALL OTHER THAN THEIR NORMAL
WATER BILL THAT THEY’VE ALWAYS
BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO PAY.
>> THERE’S STILL A LOT OF
PEOPLE UNDER THE BOIL WATER
NOTICE AND WHEN YOU BOIL WATER,
THERE’S ACTUALLY SOME RESIDUE
THAT POPS UP CAN YOU EXPLAIN
WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ON THE
LOOKOUT FOR.
>> THAT THAT IS OUR BEAUTIFUL
EDWARDS WATER WITH CALCIUM,
IT’S
NOT HARMFUL. IT’S THERE.
IT’S JUST MANIFESTING ITSELF
BECAUSE OF THE BLOWING OF THE
WATER. IT’S NOT HARMFUL.
AND SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE
PURPOSE OF THE WATER BOIL
NOTICE IS.
>> WE HAD A LOW PRESSURE
BECAUSE OF
OF THE THE WATER PRESSURE
STARTED GOING DOWN
ALL THE LEAKS THROUGHOUT THE
CITY WHERE WATER WAS JUST 6
CAPE IN OUR SYSTEM. WE’RE HAPPY
TO SAY THAT NONE OF OUR.
LINES BROOKE WE HAD NO BROKEN
GLASS BECAUSE FREEZING WEATHER
AND SO OUR SYSTEM
INTACT. THERE IS NO BRAKES WERE
CONTENDERS COULD COME IN.
BUT THE
LOW PRESSURE WE REQUIRED UNDER
TCE HUGH GUIDELINES STATE
GUIDELINES THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO
ISSUE A BOIL WATER NOTICE.
SO THIS WAS A PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURE. WE HAVE TO DO IT AS
YOU MENTIONED WITH THAT FIRST
PICTURE. THE MAJORITY THE CITY
IS OUT I’M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT
THIS MORNING
BEFORE NOON. OTHER HUGE
SECTIONS OF THE CITY WILL BE
OUT OF THE BALL WATERS.
>> AND YOU KNOW WE JUST SHOWED
THAT MAP EARLIER THEY ARE A LOT
OF PEOPLE DO HAVE
THE WATER BACK BUT THE END THEY
THEY’RE OUT OF THAT BOIL
NOTICE, BUT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE WHAT DOES THAT TIMELINE
LOOK LIKE.
>> THROUGHOUT THE CITY THERE IS
LIKE A LITTLE POLKA DOTS OF
AREAS THAT STILL DO NOT HAVE
WATER FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU’RE IN
THE DOMINION AT THE
HIGHEST POINT YOU PROBABLY
STILL DON’T HAVE WATER OR THE
FLOOR
FOR NORTHWEST. NOT THIS POINT
SPRINGS JUST A FEW ROADS THERE.
YOU DON’T HAVE WATER THE REST
OF THE CITY HAS WATER MAYBE ONE
ISOLATED. SITUATIONS WE’RE
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH APARTMENT
COMPLEXES BECAUSE THE MANAGERS
OR SHUTTING OFF WATER.
OUT IN THE STREET OR HER
CAN BE CAUSING PROBLEMS OF
THOSE KINDS OF PROBLEMS ARE
HURTING. BUT THEY’RE NOT
WEATHER RELATED ANYMORE.
IT’S JUST AN INABILITY TO GET
EVERYBODY ON LINE AND DOING
THE PROPERTIES.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR
METEOROLOGIST SARAH SPIDEY HERE
WITH A QUESTION ABOUT THE
AQUIFER AND SAWS PUMPING THE
WATER FROM THE AQUIFER I
NOTICED AT THE AQUA FOR ITSELF
HAS GONE DOWN 10 PLUS FEET JUST
WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE
OF DAYS. DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT’S
GOING TO AFFECT A STAGE ONE
WATER RESTRICTIONS IF WE’RE
GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK
INTO THAT AND EVEN INTO THE
DRIER MONTHS OF THE YEAR IS
THIS GOING TO HAVE EFFECT ON
OUR A WATER SUPPLY FOR MONTHS
TO COME.
>> WELL THERE’S A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS IN THERE IT WILL NOT
HAVE AN EFFECT ON OUR WATER
SUPPLY BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE
OTHER THE EDWARDS WE HAVE 8
OTHER SOURCES OF WATER SO A SAN
ANTONIO, EVEN IF DRY SUMMER
WILL HAVE PLENTY OF WATER.
THE RESTRICTIONS, HOWEVER
BECAUSE OF THE OPERA 4 HITS ONE
DOWN AND THESE
ARE THE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS
LEAKY PIPES THROUGHOUT THE CITY
HAS GONE DOWN SO YOU MIGHT SEE
OF US STILL IN STAGE ONE WAS 4
SONS. WE ARE
WE’RE USING MORE WATER ON AN
INDIVIDUAL DAY DURING THIS
CALAMITY AND WE’RE USING ON ANY
INDIVIDUAL DAY IN THE HEAT OF
THE SUN.
AND TESTING AND JUST ONE QUICK
QUESTION BEFORE WE LET YOU GO.
>> YOU MENTIONED THE TIMELINE
IN TERMS OF GIVING EVERYONE’S
WATER BACK UP WHAT ABOUT A
TIMELINE FOR THAT BOIL NOTICE
FOR THOSE 2 ARE STILL ON THE
MAP.
>> BY THIS MORNING THE 1043 ACTUALLY IS THE PASSAGE OF THE 24 HOUR TIME PERIOD.
SO YOU WILL SEE THE LIFTING OF
THE OTHER HUGE SWATH OF OF THE
CITY BEFORE NOON.
>> FANTASTIC ALL RIGHT. THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AND
