The Bee Cave Bee

Widespread water issues face local residents on the morning of Wednesday July 29th. Parts of Rocky Creek are without water, Belvedere and Rough Hollow are both reporting low pressure.

WTCPUA is now (9am) telling residents the problem has been fixed. For those affected at higher elevations it may be the early afternoon until everyone has water back at full pressure...the tanks need to refill.

From SWTCPUA at 4:30 pm
