Water line break disrupts flow in Gun Barrel City; Tamarack issues boil water notice




Gun Barrel City notified residents Thursday, Feb. 4, that a "major water line break" had left most of the city without water.

The recorded notice going to residents' phones said that East Cedar Creek Fresh Water Supply District officials hoped to get repairs made within a couple of hours and restore service.

ECCFWSD issued a boil water notice for all of Gun Barrel City after water service was restored.

On Jan. 30 Tamarack officials issued a boil water notice to residents because a water line break had resulted in low pressure causing contamination.

Before water is consumed during such warning periods, it should be brought to a rolling boil and kept at that temperature for two minutes before using it for drinking or cooking.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.40 feet above pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
