Power has been restored for a majority of Williamson County residents, and Oncor, the energy company which services most of the county, anticipates restoration will be completed by the end of day Sunday.
But residents are still dealing with the after-effects of the outages, particularly the impact on water-treatment facilities.
Residents in Pflugerville, Leander, Taylor, Hutto and Florence are under a boil-water notice.
Leander reported its water system was 30% restored as of Saturday. The city expects full restoration in three to five days.
Hutto's water system was fully functioning and filled Sunday, but the city said the boil-water notice will stay in effect for a few more days.
Georgetown is no longer under a boil-water notice, but it is requiring residents to conserve water and prohibiting nonessential water use until Wednesday. Round Rock is also not under a boil-water notice.
