Traffic is a real pain during a typical rush hour. Did you know that electric lines also get crowded during peak times when we all use electricity at the same time. Energy demand generally peaks from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. By shifting your energy use off of these peak hours you could save money. Steer away from using your major appliances during the peak times whenever possible.

Stage 1 water conservation rules are in effect for Boerne Water Utility customers
|
|
Recent rains have been great giving our lawns and gardens a healthy boost. Just remember that if you are a Boerne Water Utility customer you are still required to follow the Stage 1 "mandatory" water conservation rules. Most lawns in our area only need about 1" of water per week, so over-watering is just not necessary, plus it costs you extra money!

Back to school rules at the Patrick Heath Public Library

|
Children ages 10 and under are not allowed on library grounds after school without a parent or guardian at least 16 years of age being present. However, during library programming; children 8 years of age and older may attend scheduled library programs without a responsible adult. Prompt pickup at the end of programs is appreciated.
Parents, should be aware that there is no supervision at all on the outside of the building; the woods behind the library are not a safe spot for children and teens to hang out.
All teens age 11 and older will be asked to sign a “behavior pledge” agreeing to abide by library rules.

Sewer smoke testing continues in Boerne
|
|
Weather permitting, Boerne Utilities work crews will be conducting smoke test surveys throughout Boerne over the next several months. This testing is a very effective way for crews to locate leaks, breaks and defects in the city’s sewer system. Residents may see harmless smoke coming from the vent stacks on houses or holes in the ground. The smoke is non-toxic and non-staining, has no odor, is white to gray in color, and does not create a fire hazard.
