Updated at 9 p.m. with Princeton rescinding its order.

Many residents across North Texas are under orders from their cities to boil or conserve water after this week’s record-setting low temperatures froze equipment and caused power outages that knocked treatment and pumping facilities offline.

Residents are told to boil water or use bottled water for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth and washing hands, as well as for their pets.

“The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes” before cooling, said officials in Fort Worth, where residents in the northern and western parts of the city were under the notice.

Children, elderly people and people with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to harmful bacteria that may be in untreated water, according to the city.

Cities will update their websites and notify residents when their water is safe to consume.

Here’s the water status in affected cities, as well as a list of places to get free water.
