The cold weather during the last few days has added to the water woes in Caney. It’s now issued a Boil Water Order after freezing pipes caused a sudden drop in pressure, but that’s not the only problem they’re dealing with. “This is the stuff that we have pulled from our filters,” said Caney Mayor Josh Elliott. “This gets stuck in our filters. This is like goo.” A day after the city’s latest water troubles began, Elliott took to Facebook live to explain what was going on. “All this stuff has clogged them and we are working day in, night out cleaning and cleaning and cleaning,” Elliott said. The problem, though has its roots in the city’s water emergency we first told you about last summer, which was issued after the drought caused local rivers the city gets its water from to drop too low.
