We are looking into a new story brewing over lost and non returned water deposits being held by the City of Elgin TX. Each water despot is $100, per location. If the city has 5000 plus residents the number of money not returned could be staggering......
Also the city recently was refunding deposits 10 years or older, that it also kept, forgot about, and recently started mailing to residents. We are looking into why the city would keep refunds , and violating the laws of Texas.

As our investigation starts into Elgin Texas's water treatment system, we find disturbing news. Seems OSHA was in Manor Texas inspecting their water towers, when the tower under review in Elgin Texas, had a a main burst and empty the old lead based unit.
Upon a review of the water tower, its no wonder OSHA was so diligent in trying to get Elgin to paint & remove the lead based paint ......
Lead? yes and lots of muck, that comes from years to a decades of settlement.
