SAN ANTONIO For many in the San Antonio area, it is the first time they have had to deal with a boil notice. And it really caused problems Wednesday for several of businesses.
Even though the roads were fine most of the day, many restaurants didn t open partially because of the boil order, which affected the way they had to prepare food or serve beverages.

After making an investment in a West Texas solar power project, the Kerrville Public Utility Board started drawing electricity from the plant after a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday.Â
Located in Borden County, the Long Draw Solar Farm will help provide power to more than 6,000 residences in Kerrville as part of KPUB s plan to diversify its sources of electricity, including investing in renewables.
âKPUB is excited to add this renewable project into our diversified power supply portfolio,â said KPUB General Manager and CEO Mike Wittler. âThis supports our competitive rate strategy and mission to provide reliable service to our customers at the lowest responsible price.â

Bill Tavis had spent several years doing computer animations for medical videos, but he was drawn to something more intrinsic â painting.Â
While he always considered himself an artist, Tavis made a substantial living providing the technically advanced work that illustrated how the body worked. To Tavis, however, the calling he was looking for was rooted in his love of halftone images and translating that into large scale murals.Â
âIâve always had this inner voice I wanted to express,â Tavis said. âItâs been a lot more uncertain financially, but very rewarding at the same time.âÂ
The Austin-based artist, who grew up in Albuquerque, is the first artist to layout the vision for what Clay Street will look like in the coming years as part of the Kerrville Urban Trail System â or KUTS. Tavis is currently painting his mural on the Napa Auto Parts store at the corner of Jefferson and Clay streets â across from Pint and Plow Brewery.
