City utilities crews have made progress in addressing low water pressure issues in North Laredo. A malfunctioning valve is believed to be the cause of the problem. The issue had been ongoing for weeks before a hydraulic assessment was conducted.

This assessment allowed staff to identify the faulty valve, which was then isolated from automated controls. As a result, water pressure has returned to mostly expected levels. The utilities department will continue to monitor the system, and while the root cause is believed to have been identified, further details are available from the city utilities department.
