New Braunfels Utilities is preparing for tighter water restrictions as the temperatures rise and the aquifer level falls.
The utility, which has been in Stage 1 since October, said that rising temps, lack of rainfall and increased water use means the level of the Edwards Aquifer is dropping.
On Friday, the 10-day average for the well that measures the aquifer s level was about five feet above the trigger that would push the city into the second stage of restrictions.
If Mother Nature doesn t change course, officials said those restrictions could go into effect within the next few weeks.
While under any water restrictions, the schedule for the use of a sprinkler or irrigation system is limited to one day a week by addresses, with addresses ending 0 or 1 having Monday, 2 or 3 having Tuesday, 4 or 5 having Wednesday, 6 or 7 having Thursday and 8 or 9 on Friday.
In the letter, Seaman asked for a meeting with Jacobsen. As these allegations have needlessly undermined confidence in the election process, I am hoping to work with you and your office to restore this faith for Montana voters, Seaman wrote. It would benefit voters across the state for Missoula County to continue to collaborate with your office to provide education on how the policies and procedures currently in law ensure election integrity, he added.
Rep. Brad Tschida, R-Missoula, the GOP group s leader, sent a letter outlining his concerns to Jacobsen on March 22.
Around a week later, the Missoula County commissioners sent a letter to Jacobsen that blasted those concerns. They characterized Rep. Tschida s accusations as an insult to the county s election judges and voters.
With marijuana set to become legal in Virginia as of July 1, Amherst County Board of Supervisors members are backing a referendum for county residents to give input on whether dispensaries that sell the drug should be permitted.
The board discussed the matter during an April 6 meeting and directed County Administrator Dean Rodgers to look into pursuing a referendum âthe sooner the better,â according to Supervisor Jimmy Ayers. When asked if the November general election is too soon to have such a referendum, County Attorney Mark Popovich said: âAbsolutely not.â
Ayers, a former Amherst County sheriff who retired in late 2015, said he labels marijuana a âgateway drugâ and he has seen firsthand what he described as damage it has done to local families.

Leroy Pohatu s trade tools are a Macbook, a company phone and a PC toolkit. The 22-year-old field engineer looks after the IT of eight schools in Auckland, including his alma mater Tāmaki College.
Kids at school often go up and sit next to him while he works. They look at my screen and ask me questions, do you look after IT? Is it hard? How did you get the job?
