Texas Water Board public hearing on aquifer designation Wednesday
Citizens interested in the future of groundwater in Montague County may want to attend a public hearing at 1 p.m. on Nov. 8 in the Bowie Community Center.
The Texas Water Development Board will conduct the hearing, which was prompted by recommendations from the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, which coordinates Montague, Parker, Hood and Wise Counties.
The district would like to have the four aquifers (Wichita, Cisco-Bowie, Canyon and Strawn) designated as four separate minor aquifers or collectively as one minor aquifer of the state. These aquifers span a 20-county area that includes a large portion of Montague County. At these time these aquifers are not recognized and therefore are not subject to study or consideration in the state water plan and its future development.
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
