ONGOING WATER WELL PROBLEMS ON JACK GRACE HILL ROAD HAVE GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE. ACCORDING TO A STORY PUBLISHED IN THE JULY 11TH EDITION OF THE BOWIE NEWS, THE WATER PROBLEM IN THE HOME OF STEPHEN AND SHAREE BROCK HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEY PURCHASED THE HOUSE IN 2007. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE PLUMBING, HOT WATER HEATER, AND HAVE INSTALLED A LARGE HOME WATER SOFTENER, BUT THE WATER IS STILL UNUSEABLE. ACCORDING TO BROCK, HE BECAME CONCERNED AFTER THE WATER PIPES STARTED “SPITTING AND SPUTTERING” LIKE AIR WAS IN THE LINES. BROCK WAS ABLE TO IGNITE THE WATER FLOWING FROM THE KITCHEN SINK AND, AS HE PUT IT, “SCARED HIM TO DEATH”. BROCK HAS CONTACTED THE TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, AND THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO INFORM THEM OF THE SITUATION. AS FOR NOW, NO ONE HAS A RESOLUTION TO THEIR PROBLEM, BUT THE BROCKS ARE HOPEFUL THAT THE EPA’S INVESTIGATION WILL RESULT IN A POSITIVE ACTION.
