Issue: Water Plants and Wastewater Plants require permits from the State (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality T.C.E.Q.) in order to legally operate. Every five (5) years permits are required to be renewed to address any changes that may have occurred. These permit renewals are required by the State to publish in the newspaper for public viewing in case there are any persons concerned about the operation of the plant. This year the plants in Colorado Acres (Las Lomas) and the Rio Bravo Wastewater Plant require renewal.
Solution: Transfer funds to provide for advertisement costs from the Laredo Morning Times.
Result: Advertise and comply with State requirements.
