Residents of Dallas were asked to conserve water during the heat wave and due to the lack of measurable rain. The dry spell increased demand on the water system as daily consumption rose to more than 600 million gallons per day, compared to the average consumption of about 380 million gallons daily. The number of water main breaks has also nearly tripled to 17 over the past weekend, compared to a normal of no more than six during such a period.
