What you need to know about snow, winter storm closures, power outages and more in Southlake

More than 200,000 residents of northern Fort Worth, as well as people who live northeast in Keller, Southlake, Roanoke and other cities, were being told to boil their water Tuesday morning after power outages affected water treatment plants.

Here are some food safety tips from the USDA and Texas A&M AgriLife.

Late Tuesday, Southlake and Keller were also experiencing extremely low water pressure, and residents were told to use bottled water if they couldn’t get any from their taps.

The Southlake fire chief said in a prepared statement that the city was working hard to reestablish service and would update residents on the city’s website.

The city announced several closures and encouraged residents to contact city e-services or other city administrative offices for information on additional closings.

Meanwhile, rotating power outages across the state are affecting the city and other parts of northeast Tarrant County. At 9 a.m. Monday, Oncor was reporting more than 211,000 Tarrant County customers without power.

Southlake has opened a warming station at the DPS North Training Facility, 100 E. Dove Road, for residents.

The city council meeting scheduled for Tuesday will be held virtually. Other board and commissions meetings may be held online as well, according to the city’s website.

Southlake encouraged residents to follow the city online and on social media for updates on the city’s response to the severe weather. Residents can follow FacebookTwitter and Nextdoor, as well as MySouthlakeNews.com and CityofSouthlake.com.
