In Odessa, a decision on providing free water to residents for a week is still pending. The initiative was proposed after a water supply issue occurred in July. The Odessa City Council has not yet made progress on this matter, and the reason for the delay is related to the ongoing work on the municipal budget for 2026-2027.

Further information on the status of the free water week compensation can be found through local news sources, including KMID ABC Big 2 and YourBasin.
