Weslaco billing third-party contractors after three water line breaks in one day
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Weslaco is seeking compensation from third-party contractors after they accidentally damaged underground water lines three times in a single day while installing fiber optic cables on August 12. The city has halted all related work and is currently assessing the water loss and labor expenses incurred due to the incidents. Over 20 city employees were involved in the repairs, which Mayor Adrian Gonzalez noted disrupted regular city operations. To prevent future issues, the city is conducting pre-construction meetings to ensure contractors are aware of existing water lines before any further work begins.
