County commissioners lift the rural burn ban enacted this summer after rain, while fine tuning a redistricting map to keep Floresville-area precinct at about 60 percent Hispanic. Health official Edwin Baker notes dry areas and urges safe burning with notifications to 611 dispatchers to avoid misdirected responses.

Water Boiling Notice Replaced By New Signage In Eagle Creek
AquaSource replaced warning signs near U S 181 at the Eagle Creek Ranch subdivision stating water boiling was no longer necessary. TNRCC officials said AquaSource followed required procedures, but residents contested notification methods. Some residents saw few signs and desired phone calls or door to door alerts from AquaSource. The Wilson County Sheriff’s Department coordinates the local response.
