A new development emerged in the seemingly endless story about Deer Creek Water Works (DCWW) this week, placing the matter back into Willow Park’s hands.
In hopes of ending a delay in progress to discussions and finalizing an agreement, Hudson Oaks held a special council meeting Monday, April 16 and agreed to cosign the contract for Parker County Utility District No. 1 (PCUD) to purchase the embattled water system from Willow Park.

Special to The Community News
Five area teenagers were detained by Parker County sheriff’s deputies Saturday morning, Jan. 13 after deputies seized alcohol and marijuana from the vehicle they occupied.

According to a sheriff’s report, Aledo Deputy K. Lanham observed all five of the youths sitting in a pick up behind the Stuard Elementary School in the 200 block of Thunderhead Lane shortly after midnight. Lanham said he noticed them moving around inside the cab, and appeared to be concealing contraband upon his approach. One of the teens reportedly admitted they were hiding beer. The Deputy observed a number of unopened beer cans under the seats of the truck and on the floorboard and noticed the odor of marijuana inside the cab.

In The Community News, it was listed in the calendar that Annetta South would meet Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. However, the meeting had been rescheduled for Dec. 7. The Community News regrets the error.
