UPDATE:
The City of Holland shared an update Thursday afternoon noting the water system has returned to normal operating conditions, with system pressure restored.
However, the 24-inch water line was still offline, so customers were asked to continue conserving water.
Then late Thursday, a Bell County constable announced repairs had been made.
