A shocking footage has emerged from
Texas in the United States of America
showing residents lining up to fetch
water from a borehole.
It was gathered that the incident was
caused as a result of days of blackout.
According to operators, the bulk of the
power loss in Texas came from natural
gas suppliers as pipelines froze ,
making it difficult for plants to get the
fuel they needed.
Electricity is normally used to pump
water into the homes of residents but
since the outage , many have resorted
to seeking alternative ways of
accessing their daily needs .

In a video shared online by abc
reporter , Erica Simon , citizens could be
seen in a queue holding buckets and
dispenser containers as they fetched
water from a borehole tap.
In her words ; “ This is not a third world
country . This is Houston , Texas . I
spotted a line of people filing up
buckets of water from a spicket at
Haden Park . Why ? Millions either have
no water or are under a Boil Water
Advisory . ”
