City will consider new water rate Wednesday

The City Council will consider a proposal on Wednesday night that will raise water rates $12.60 a month to pay off the loan for a new water plant. That meeting starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall. The $4.1 million project to construct the new plant will require annual payments of $153,050 per year for 40 years and that is the increase necessary to make that payment, based on the number of water customers the city had in November of 2006.

Nice Rains Should Bring Lake Level Up Again

We had a lot of phone calls at City Hall on Wednesday concerning the color of the drinking water. With more than four inches of rain last week, we had some rough raw water coming into the plant. Another inch or so fell last night and will help the lake rise. So far, the lake is up about 2 feet from the record low reported December 22nd. During the storm last Friday, we had a power surge hit a raw water intake pump and it is currently being rewound in Greenville.

Great Visit with the Kids & Grandkids

We had a great family visit after Christmas as the son and daughter, their spouses and the three grandsons came for four days at the lake. We ran the juglines and caught 41 high fin blue catfish, ate lots of good food and just had a great time spending time with each other.

Water is discolored- starting the New Year

We are back at it as the office opened back this morning and we are getting a lot of phone calls concerning city water. With the rains on Friday, Lake Tawakoni looked like chocolate milk and although the water is cleared somewhat, the finished water in the towers will be discolored until it is used. The water is passing all the state required tests.
