Crews repair leak on 20-inch raw water line from lake
The City of Bowie had to deal with a leak in its 20-inch raw water line running from Lake Amon Carter this past week. The leak was first reported when someone saw water running into a nearby creek. Thursday they had to dig down to the line which was 14 feet deep, but the excavator had to go 20 feet so they could make the repair. Due to the depth the crew had to wait until shoring walls could be placed to protect workers. Welders arrived Saturday to weld a steel ring around the pipe near the joint where the concrete had broken away and the line rusted. No water service was impacted.
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.
The board of directors of the Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Corporation will meet at 6 p.m. at Carter Lake Baptist Church 4759 FM 1125.
Agenda items include an engineer’s presentation and resolution workshop with Daniel Deweber and Prairie Branch Properties.
