Mayor gives background, next steps on water situation

7 years ago By TWallner
The City of Graham sent out its second billing utilizing the new water meter system late last week. As with the first billing under the new system, City Hall has had many calls and visits from concerned citizens wanting an explanation of their latest bill. In an effort to put some perspective on this situation, I would like to submit the following to explain where we were, what got us to this point, and where we are trying to get to in regards to water in the City of Graham. Beginning in 2010, a drought ravaged not only our community of Graham, but all of the state of Texas.

Whoooooo goes there? Zuckey and Beth find an owl in their neighborhood

Last week, I decided the hammock on the back deck needed to be used. I’ve had several hammocks over the years. Too many times I’ve let them rot by leaving them out during rain storms and summer sun and once during a snow storm. I’m not sure why I didn’t take it down before that norther hit, but I didn’t. Anyway, I’m still using last summer’s hammock, and it just seemed like the perfect day. The sun was getting low, the horizon was painted a brilliant orange and pink, and the gentle breeze was rocking the hammock.

Odds are, Shrimp Boat Manny’s, on Church Street in Livingston may be the ultimate oxymoron. Where else, pray tell, can diners scarf down delicious Cajun food whipped up from Southern Louisiana recipes that owners Manny and Nancy Rachal have featured since 1985… then, pick up free crosses on the way out? The intent is for the sealed cedar crosses — weighing 2.6 pounds each, 42 inches tall and 33 inches across — to be posted in yards or wherever.

Texans created man-made lakes

The eastern half of Texas had become pretty tame by the late 1870s, even downright civilized, compared with the more sparsely settled border country. While ranchers in the southwestern part of the state still worried about cattle thieves and occasional forays by hostile Indians crossing the Rio Grande into Texas from Mexico or raiding from their reservations in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), some residents of Corsicana organized a fishing club they called the Navarro Fish Association.
