Pick up your containers for water well testing
There is still time to pick up your containers to take part in the water well testing program this month in Montague County.
The “Well Informed” Texas Well Owner Network program gives well owners the opportunity to have their well water samples screened for common contaminants including: Fecal coliform, E. coli bacteria, nitrates and high salinity. It is recommended owners of water wells have the quality of their water tested annually.
Containers are available at the county extension agent’s office in the courthouse at Montague and must be picked up before Sept. 26. Call ahead at 894-2831 to reserve a container.
Well owners will drop off the containers from 8:30 – 10 a.m. only on the morning of Sept. 26 at the Montague County Annex Community Room.
County Agent Justin Hansard said the results and interpretation of screening the water samples is followed by a one-hour explanation of well results at 6 p.m. on Sept. 27 in the community room.
For more information call or email the agent’s office at 940-894-2831 or email j-hansard@tamu.edu.
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.
