Houston man buying water due to boil order

Officials say more than 2 million people in the Houston area remain under a boil order notice after a power outage caused low water pressure at a water purification plant.

The order — which means water must be boiled before it's used for cooking, bathing or drinking — also prompted schools in the Houston area to close Monday.

Houston city officials said Monday that residents should boil all tap water used for drinking, food preparation, tooth brushing and ice for at least three minutes before use.
