Odessa Schedules Boil Water Notice After Pipe Breaks
Odessa officials issued a 24 hour boil water notice for residents in the northern area between East Loop 338 and West Loop 338 starting at East 56th Street as crews repair two busted water lines. The 16 inch cast iron main near East 89th Street and Andrews Highway broke first around 6 am, with a second break near West 81st Street and Andrews Highway. Officials say the age of the first line contributed to the failure and will issue updates when the boil period ends.
