- Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.
Not so fun fact:
Texas almost used all its water supply in 2016. With more projected growth it will be a challenge to meet demand.
SENIORS: Pay attention to the announcements, a Senior meeting will be taking place within the next few days.
