Statewide Survey Assessing Needs of Older Texans
The deadline is approaching to take a statewide survey assessing the needs of older Texans. Stacey Urbanczyk, Program Manager for the Area Agency on Aging Brazos Valley, says survey input could impact the amount of funding their program receives. “It is very important that people who deal with seniors and love seniors and want to have input take an opportunity to do this,” says Urbanczyk. Urbanczyk says this online survey, which takes about five minutes to complete, is available through Monday, August 26th. “If we don’t let, as a community and as a region, let people know what our needs are for our seniors, nobody else may let them know,” says Urbanczyk. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is conducting the online survey to gather input from older adults, caregivers and service providers. Click HERE to take the online survey.

Water Restriction Updates From The Wellborn And Wickson Creek Utility Districts
Almost 10,000 water customers in the Wellborn special utility district (SUD) are being warned that outdoor watering may be reduced from three to two days per week. General manager Campbell Young says if the 9,878 Wellborn customers reduce irrigation on their designated days by a few minutes, then they can stay on the present schedule. The Wellborn SUD advisory follows the Wickson Creek special utility district announcing on Thursday (August 22), the return of mandatory water restrictions. Wickson Creek’s stage one restrictions means limited outdoor watering for about 9,200 customers. That includes no outdoor irrigation between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. and outdoor irrigation between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. on two designated days per week.
