City sets hours for septic disposal at waste water plant
Longtime Pecos resident Jim Blanchard spoke at the city council meeting about septic tank costs after being told grants would cover removal of his 100 year old cesspool. He noted pumping costs rising to 700 dollars as septic waste must be hauled to Ft. Stockton due to changes at the Pecos plant. Public Works Director Edgardo Madrid said disposal hours would be set within a year.

Water woes and funds drain Pyote under water crisis
Pyote faces repeated water outages and safety concerns with E coli testing, while city finances suffer from misbilling of two million gallons monthly and a $37,597 debt to CRMWD. Mayor Lloyd Collins cites power outages, a broken sewer pump, and failed tests as core issues. Plans include a new 89 thousand gallon water tower, seeking grants, and a potential $3,000 monthly income from Southern Union Gas water supply.
