INITIAL REPORT: ‘Water hostage crisis’ at new Willis ISD middle school leaves hundreds of families in limbo

This comes after hundreds of families were in limbo because of an ongoing water dispute.

According to Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough, the problem stemmed from the city of Conroe failing to annex the property where the school is located.

However, after an engaging and “productive discussion” with city leaders on Wednesday, officials confirmed the school would be able to open on time.

And on Thursday morning, County Judge Keough was proud to share the positive update on Facebook, saying, “The water is ON! Thank you Conroe!”
