Water pressure is being restored across the west side of Pecos following the completion of emergency repairs on Lincoln Street, city officials announced Friday afternoon.
Crews worked through the night and into the next day to address the issue, which left many residents with low to no water pressure starting early Friday morning. The repair was completed by 3:17 p.m., and city staff began reopening water valves to restore full pressure throughout the system.
Some areas may experience delayed restoration as the city’s pumps and storage tanks stabilize. Residents may also notice water flowing from fire hydrants—part of a routine system flushing process to ensure water quality. No action is required from residents during this stage.
Earlier in the day, Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD closed all campuses at 10 a.m. in response to the water outage. City officials issued multiple updates as the repair timeline progressed, thanking the public for their patience and extending appreciation to the crews who worked to resolve the issue.
