AUSTIN, Texas A local group is speaking out against a proposed sewage facility near Barton Creek, which it claims could eventually clog the beloved stream with algae.
According to the Save Barton Creek Association, the planned facility will be located between Oak Hill and Dripping Springs. They say it could dump up to 45,000 gallons of treated wastewater into one of Barton Creek s contributing streams every day. Citing a City of Austin study, the group claims the pollutants remaining in that treated sewage could cause algae growth for several miles along the Long Branch tributary of the creek.

Hays County is in the planning phase of creating a vaccine “hub” model alongside Seton Hospital and other local partners with the goal of becoming more efficient with COVID-19 vaccine distribution, according to Hays County Emergency Management Coordinator Alex Villalobos.
By creating a larger group, Hays County expects to be able to advocate for larger numbers of the vaccine and to distribute them in a more centralized manner.
According to Villalobos, the hub model ran a trial in Austin with just over 10,000 vaccines distributed in a short period of time. They found the largest issue was inputting data into the vaccine computer data system, a problem they are looking to mitigate.
