Water line breaks drive Baytown city costs
City Manager C D Middleton noted that last year Baytown repaired water line breaks at an average cost near ten dollars each. Public Works Director Red Grantham said this figure may be slightly low but close. Causes include shifting soil, poor caulking, and lines laid with insufficient cover. He blamed years of growth and planning gaps for many mistakes. Middleton also raised property easements as meters access is hampered by burst fences and violations of city ordinance.

Saturday Is Last Day For Rendition In Baytown
Finance Director A WV Barber warns Baytown property owners that Saturday is the final day to render property within city limits. Failure to render relinquishes the right to protest the evaluation before the equalization board meeting on June 1. Mrs Pebble Ewing says most owners render when paying taxes and county renders are also due by Saturday. Beatrice Massey notes Harris County has been assessing since January 1 and more property has been rendered than last year due to more homeowners and individuals.
