Work is still being done to improve the quality of water in Bridge City. Tuesday City Manager Jerry Jones spoke with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The state commission gave clarification to the city on some of the items it was looking into as far as the water quality in Bridge City.
TCEQ informed Jones that it was going to rely on Napco the company adding chemicals in the water system to come up with treatments to address the brown water situation after the filters are installed. Bridge City has been waiting two months for permission from the TCEQ to proceed with placing the filters in the water lines and must wait a little longer. TCEQ will be taking water samples again on November 22.
Jones said repairs are scheduled for Wednesday to one of the water wells concerning holes found in it. Jones indicated the workers plan to install a temporary slip liner in the well. The liner will allow them to test the water to insure the holes were the only problem.
Bridge City has a new municipal courtroom. The municipal court has moved from the City Hall down the street to the new Bridge City Police Station. Tuesday Mayor David Rutledge read a proclamation recognizing Municipal Court Week and the staff of the Bridge City Municipal Court. Rutledge concluded, “I call upon all residents of the City of Bridge City to join with the City Council in recognizing their exemplary dedication to the community they represent.”
The presiding judge of the Bridge City Municipal Court is the honorable James B. Scales III, and the associate judge is the honorable Ida Schossow. City Attorney Paul Fukuda serves as the city prosecutor. Deputy Court Clerks are Terry Smith and Mitzi Nolan with city secretary Sherry Tisdale being the court administrator.
