Weslaco billing third-party contractors after three water line breaks in one day
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Weslaco is seeking reimbursement 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 halted all work following the incidents and is currently assessing the water loss and labor costs incurred. Over 20 city employees were involved in the repairs, which Mayor Adrian Gonzalez noted disrupted regular city operations. To prevent future incidents, the city is conducting pre-construction meetings to ensure contractors are aware of the locations of existing water lines before resuming any work.
