On Jan. 1, 2022, and after redistricting, the Anderson Mill MUD neighborhoods were placed into Precinct 1.  Commissioner Cook was invited to a meet and greet meeting, and asked to address the Board. Citizens were encouraged to ask questions.

Commissioner Cook brought a large map of the newly redistricted Precinct 1 for the board members and residents to view and ask her questions.

Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m., the southbound lanes on Deep Wood Drive will be closed nightly at RM 620.

Once complete, crews will reopen southbound Deep Wood Drive and perform a similar traffic switch along the northbound lanes to finish placing the waterline at RM 620.

The nightly closures will be in place until Friday, Jan. 28 at 5 a.m.

Some people may like to ring in the New Year with the bang of fireworks, but most jurisdictions have city ordinances prohibiting the use of fireworks within or near the city limits.  If you are unsure of the ordinances, it is always safer to check with the city or local fire department prior to the purchase or discharge of fireworks. In addition, Williamson County provides a map that shows the areas where fireworks are permitted and prohibited by ordinance in the county. Go to http://www.wilco.org/GIS and click the County Map.

There is not a fireworks ban or burn ban in place for unincorporated areas of Williamson County; however, fireworks are not permitted in Williamson County parks.

Consumer fireworks can be dangerous when used improperly, causing serious burns and eye injuries.  Always check with your local fire department/district for recommendations or suggested precautions to follow before deciding to use them; then, follow these safety tips from the Williamson County Fire Marshal Special Operations Division.
