Roscoe residents still without water days after city shutoff for new water mains

Roscoe residents whose water was shut off Nov. 5 for the installation of new water mains said some households were still without service several days later, forcing families to find other ways to bathe, wash clothes and meet basic needs. Amber Serrano said most of the city’s water had been restored, but her home remained without service. “Pretty much the rest of the city's water has been had been turned back on. Ours was not,” Serrano said. She said she contacted the city office Friday to ask when service would return. “And basically all they just said is, I don't know. I'm sorry. No answers,” she said. Serrano said her household had been without water since Thursday morning.
