Residents across north Houston may experience lower water pressure over the next two weeks as the city repairs two water lines.

Work began last week on the first line, which serves the city's East Water Purification Plant, and is set to commence Friday on the second line near Beltway 8 north and U.S. 59.

The potential impact area stretches from Spring Branch north to Greenspoint and east toward Trinity Gardens.

The work is not expected to impact water quality, the public works department said, and water pressure should be back to normal between March 9 and March 13.
