Gonzales Weekly Citizen
On a night when the Gonzales City Council approved a proclamation declaring March as Flood Awareness Month, public concerns over drainage issues prompted the council to table approval of a proposed new subdivision.
Councilman Tyler Turner made a motion to table approval of a preliminary plat and drainage impact study of the proposed development of 10.3 acres into 28 lots on Orice Roth Road adjacent to Gonzales Middle School. Tyler proposed a community meeting so that councilmen and the public could gather more information. A community meeting would be the best option, he said. It would give them more time to voice their concerns and to answer any questions they might have.

The pond was installed during the third and final phase of a $15 million expansion and improvement of the city s sewer system.Â
