City officials explained that Saturday's storm and flooding damaged Hutto's main water supply line. Public Works crews worked throughout the night to identify and repair the damaged lines, officials said.
By 9 a.m. Sunday, they said conditions existed that urged them to ask citizens to refrain from using water unless necessary and the boil water alert was issued.
