On-site sewage public hearing schedule
Montague County commissioners will conduct a public hearing at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 11 to discuss adoption of proposed rules related to on-site sewage facilities within the county.
The public is invited to attend and also to submit written comments. The order can be seen on the county website at co.montague.tx.us or in the judge’s office.
Charley Lanier, subdivision coordinator, told the court this was a waiver they had been working on through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality since the subdivision regulations were approved back in May 2024. Under this new rule all platted or created subdivisions of single-family dwellings using individual on-site septic facilities for sewage disposal shall have lots of at least two acres.
It is hoped this will clarify questions about an on-site septic and a public water supply which provides the water to a property.
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.
