When you’re done with soggy …
This will be the start of a new weather pattern for Texas. Roughly a week of dry weather is likely, with some exceptions.
When you fail the test …
Work that through with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Austin’s water officially failed state standards. What began as a precautionary measure to boil your water is now required by state law.
When you have a lot of questions …
I’ve seen photos of long lines and empty shelves at H-E-B. Is the apocalypse coming? Should I prepare accordingly and flee to my safe house deep in the Hill Country? Who do I need to fight to get a bottle of water? Texas Monthly has ya’ covered.
When you turn the faucet on …
From the lakes to your tap. Here are the steps for water to go from the lakes to your faucet.
When long lines give you warm fuzzies …
People are voting. Yes, people! Yaassss.
When you represent less than 1% …
You’re smart. Thirty-seven Lake Travis High School seniors were recognized as qualifiers for the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. They were chosen from more than 1.5 million program entrants and represent less than 1 percent of each state’s high school seniors.
When you use the stamp of approval …
Not everyone agrees. A unanimous vote will allow developers of the Village at Spanish Oaks to move forward with their plans. Homestead neighborhood residents spoke out saying the development will bring more traffic to an already congested area and affect their quality of life.
When you handle pressure cookers for a living …
Football is in your blood. This former UT kicker is currently in the midst of his 20th NFL season, and his two sons are playing for the 8-0 Vandegrift Vipers.
If you can’t laugh, you just keep crying …
After a stressful week of flood coverage and loss, LTL’s Cathy Hale finds the lighter side of things with boil water hysteria, vampire lookie-loos, and smelly dam complaints.
When Christmas decorations are out in Texas …
It’s a Halloween weekend. Scroll down to see Halloween parties happening in the Lake Travis area.
