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.
A BOIL WATER NOTICE remains in effect for the 800 block of Lively Street. Affected residents should use bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. If you are impacted by this notice and need bottled water, please call the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator at (940) 977-4941
The heat advisory that has been in place all week continues until 8 p.m. Friday night.
The National Weather Service reports strong high pressure overhead will bring triple digit high temperatures along with heat index readings approaching 110 degrees for much of next week. To reduce risk of heat related illnesses when outdoors, schedule frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas, and stay hydrated.
Make sure to check on your older neighbors to make sure they are staying cool and hydrates, and make sure pets have shade and water.
