Break in eight-inch water main shuts down water in Glen Hills Addition
City of Bowie water crews were up to their necks in water over the weekend repairing a break in an eight-inch line on Roy Street. The break occurred late Saturday night. After finding the hole and clamping it off, the line blew out on the other side, eventually leading to the replacement of nearly 12 feet of line. Homes in the Glen Hills Addition encompassing sections of Decatur, Clay, Wilbarger Streets were without water until early Monday when the line was turned back on. Jerry Sutton, water plant manager, said a boil order was put into place until the final testing of the line could be completed at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Three days of tests are required before the order can be lifted. The order was lifted Tuesday once testing cleared. They were trying to clean up Monday, but the dirt was so damp it was difficult to move. (Photo by Barbara Green)
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
