BEAUMONT, Texas (KFDM) - The City of Beaumont has lost its water supply throughout the city due to Harvey floodwaters causing the Neches River to flood the city's pump station, according to Beaumont Fire-Rescue Capt. Brad Pennison.

In the next three to four hours, the City of Beaumont will be without water until repairs can be made.

Workers will have to wait for water to recede to determine the damage before repairs can be made, Pennison said. Therefore, there is no way at this time to determine how soon repairs can be made.

Water everywhere but not fit to drink.

So, would a Berkey water filter or one of those safe straws work?

Water filters, chlorine tablets or household bleach, sterno stove to boil water etc. etc. All of these will fit into the “git and go” bag - now called bug-out bag.
