In a post to Facebook this evening, the city said crews are actively investigating the affected area. 

"If you live north of I-20 in Grand Prairie, please avoid using water other than for flushing until further notice," the city said. 

Grand Prairie ISD said schools will be closed Wednesday due to the water issue and resume the regular schedule Thursday.

Officials have set up a bottled water distribution station in the front parking lot of City Hall. 

A list of additional distribution stations will be posted at gptx.org.

Residents with questions can also call 972-237-8400. 

The FBI responded to a CBS News Texas inquiry saying they have not been notified of any issues.
