The water distribution centers designed to help vulnerable populations who can't buy or boil water started operations this Sunday around Travis County and are continuing into Wednesday. All the sites will be providing one case of free bottled water on a first-come, first-served basis.
Starting at 9 a.m. Thursday until supplies last, residents will be able to get water at these consolidated distribution locations. On Friday, due to decreased demand, the Onion Creek Soccer Complex will be the only distribution site, starting at 9 a.m.
