Houston schools will remain closed Tuesday because of the ongoing boil water notice that was issued Sunday due to a loss of water pressure at a purification plant, the district tweeted Monday afternoon.

The power outage at Houston’s East Water Purification Plant Sunday was caused by a failed transformer and failed backup transformer, Mayor Sylvester Turner said Monday. The outage caused all the city’s schools to close Monday, officials said.

Officials expect the boil water advisory issued Sunday evening will be lifted by 3 a.m. Tuesday, Turner said.

Turner said two transformers at the power plant went offline around 10:30 a.m., and another followed shortly after.
