Motorists advised to use caution during wet summer
As the San Antonio area continues to experience a wet summer, flash
flooding may occur and result in a considerable amount of water over
certain roads and hidden dangers at low water crossings. Residents are
advised to avoid low water crossings and to not drive around or move
protective barricades installed at these crossings.
Mow it, don’t grow it. Residents
asked to watch out for weeds
Although the recent rains have
been a welcome relief to lawns around the city, they have also caused
overgrown weeds and limited mowing opportunities. So while there is
break in the rain forecast, the City’s Housing and Neighborhood
Services Department is asking residents tend to their lawns and “mow
it, don’t grow it” to avoid a visit from a Code Compliance officer.
