Power outages cause Tom Bean conserve water notice, other cities restored

TOM BEAN, Texas (KXII) — Tom Bean citizens were asked to conserve water Sunday while city wells and lift stations were without power due to storm damage.

The city says many citizens were without power and experienced internet and cell phone service outages. Texas New Mexico Power anticipated service restoration as early as 4:00 p.m. Sunday but exact timing was unavailable while nearly 5,000 TNMP customers were without power in the Bells and Whitewright areas from storm damage.

In Tom Bean, poles were damaged by fallen trees and debris and caused the city to switch to tank reserves for water usage until wells and lift stations were functioning.

Tom Bean residents were asked to use water and city sewer only when necessary.
