In a City Council work session Tuesday, the city of Waco announced it would be undergoing it’s semi-annual cleaning of the city’s water supply to help control bacteria levels in the water distribution system.
City Manager Bradley Ford told the council that cleaning would begin October 21st and last about 30 days. While some residents may notice a difference in taste or smell, he said the water will remain safe to drink.
During the public hearing portion of the business meeting, the Council also heard from members of the public about the need for a city-run dog park following the closing of the privately owned H.O.T Dog Park. Many visitors also asked the Council to approve a resolution calling for the US to cut ties with Israel amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
