Water quality hearing on Tuesday in Bowie
The City of Bowie will have its annual water quality hearing at 6 p.m. on July 18 in the council chambers of the community room.
All customers of the city water system received a copy of the 2016 report several weeks ago. Bowie continues its superior water rating.
The system uses water from Amon G. Carter Lake. This report outlines all aspects of the water’s composition including lead and copper, inorganic contaminants, disinfection by-products, radioactive contaminants, turbidity, volatile organic contaminants and total organic carbon.
Bowie had no material violations and met the standards. The water loss audit showed 110,752,272 gallons.
A paperwork violation was issued on Oct. 30, 2016, and ended on Jan. 27, 2017. It was resolved with the appropriate paperwork submitted a few weeks after it was reported.
During the public hearing, the report will be reviewed.
Any questions can be addressed to the city council and water department staff.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
