City of Eastland Newsletter

On February 1, the City of Eastland sent out it’s first emailed newsletter. According to the newsletter this is an attemtpt to “disseminate more timely information about what’s going on within Eastland city government.”

If the city finds it a popular idea to continue these newsletters, they are looking for a name. It is requested that the audience send in a suggestion for the newsletter name to eastland@eastland.net. After receiving suggestions they will conduct a “very UN-scientific process to name a winner!”

Water was one of the subject matters of the newsletter with this information:

The biggest news of late is the wonderful rain we received last wekk that added almost six feet to Lake Leon’s water level. What a blessing! Along with the City of Ranger, the Eastland County Water Supply District and the rural water suppliers, we have been working hard on a revision of our drought contingency plans. Had we not received this rain, we were staring directly at a ban on outside watering and other uses this spring. Instead, we will now be able to soon ease up a bit on water use restrictions. The major lesson learned from the horrific 2011 drought is that it is possible to run out of water! And, without it of course, we would die – die as individuals and as a community. So, with that in mind,

1. PLEASE continue to conserve water and urge your friends and neighbors to do likewise,

2. You will see a more conservative approach by all Eastland County water providers in all facets of their water management,

3. We will continue to develop back up plans for alternate water sources should we need them, and, perhaps most importantly,

4. The historic drought we’ve been in may not have run its course! Let’s hope it has…
