Pedernales Electric Cooperative explained to the Wimberley City Council that it needs to upgrade transmission lines to Wimberley in order to supply the necessary amount of reliable power to the city. Concerned residents went to the meeting to learn more about the project saying that they had been unable to find out information from PEC about what was being planned.
Currently, a 69-kilovolt line supplies the city’s power by running from a substation off FM-32, through the hill country and into town.

New trees coming to square

The leaves on trees are starting to return as spring rolls into Central Texas, but a few trees on the square aren’t growing anything new.
Three of the four trees planted on the square when the road and parking lots were redesigned are being replaced.
State contractors planted the trees and did not heed the advice of the city of Wimberley’s arborist. Now, many of the trees have died and need to be replaced.

Woodcreek looking for citizens to serve

Submitted by Wimberley1 on
The City of Woodcreek is canvassing for citizen interest in serving on two citizen advisory committees proposed for creation in the City.
The first committee, the Roads and Right of Way Committee, would study the condition of city streets and develop a comprehensive five to ten year plan for improving our streets. Ideally, the plan would recommend pavement standards, priorities, a time line and a budget.
