Sledders walk up the hill next to the Riverside Treatment Plant on Wednesday. The plant came back into service Tuesday after a power outage earlier caused a shortfall of millions of gallons.
As roads remain icy around Central Texas with freezing temperatures persisting, McLennan County schools are remaining closed Friday.
Remote learning is called off with power outages still commonplace in the area.
Friday's Waco forecast calls for a high of 36 degrees, though the wind chill will still be between 3 and 13 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Highs of 46 Saturday and 58 Sunday are projected, with Saturday night dropping to only 40 degrees, the first non-freezing night in Waco since Feb. 8.
