City officials in Valley View, Texas, have urged residents to conserve water following a malfunction at one of the city's water wells. Repairs began on Thursday and are anticipated to last one to two days.

While the reserve water tanks remain full, officials are asking residents to limit their water usage to ensure adequate supply for household needs, public safety, and emergency services during this repair period. Restrictions have been put in place, including a ban on watering lawns, filling swimming pools, washing vehicles unless necessary, and cleaning paved surfaces. Residents are encouraged to avoid unnecessary water consumption.

According to Cooke County Emergency Services, although contractors estimate repairs will take one to two days, this timeline may be subject to change. There are currently no boil water notices expected, but updates will be provided if the situation evolves. Officials have stressed that minimizing water usage is crucial to avoid exacerbating the issue.

Princeton is about 29 miles east of Aubrey.
