”Apocalyptic Black Water” pours out of the faucets in Crystal City Texas. Can you imagine your water pouring out like oil? WTH!
City claims sediment. Sediment my behind!!
A Texas town is facing another crisis days after its mayor, city manager, mayor pro tempore, a city councilman and a former councilman were arrested earlier this week.
Crystal City residents don’t have any water they can drink. Black water came out of the pipes in homes in the tiny city where the sweeping bribery and conspiracy indictments brought down city leaders. Volunteers handed out donated bottles of water on Friday, as state environmental officials test the water for bacteria.
Joel Barajas – the only City Council member not facing criminal charges – told the San Antonio Express-News that he was grateful to residents elsewhere in the region who donated water. The city has blamed the water problem on dirt and mud build up in a water tank that was flushed, the newspaper reported.
“There are caring people in Southwest Texas,” said Barajas, who has been thrust into being the point person for all of the city’s departments.
Residents told Fox San Antonio Thursday they weren’t warned that the water tank was going to be flushed and were surprised of what was coming out of their faucets.
“It smelled as soon as I turned on the water we were getting ready for showers and I smelled it and then I started getting the text from my friends ‘hey is this happening at your house look what’s going on at mine,” a woman identified only as Nora told Fox San Antonio.
“We didn’t get a warning; we didn’t get a warning that this was going to happen,” she said.
And to add even more to the town’s woes, the Texas Education Agency said Friday that the local school district could lose its accreditation after failing to meet state standards for the third straight year.
Crystal City leaders were charged with taking bribes from contractors and sending city workers to help an illegal gambling operator, according to a federal indictment released earlier this month. Another councilman is facing unrelated allegations that he helped smuggle Mexican immigrants into the U.S.
Mayor Ricardo Lopez resigned Friday afternoon, just days after he was arrested during a City Council meeting following a scuffle with an angry audience member — in full view of television cameras. That meeting was held to schedule a recall vote for Lopez and two City Council members.
“I feel bad talking about the little town where I grew up, but this is ridiculous,” Alicia Martinez told the Associated Press, 33. “We need help to get it back to where it used to be.”
The Laredo office of the Texas Commission on Environmental is investigating the reports of black water. A water department employee said residents should boil water before using it. SOURCE
Someone has some explaining to do in a south Texas town.
The residents in Crystal City were already running low on trust with politicians in their town when the water turned as black as midnight.
The town, which is just southwest of San Antonio, says the sludgy water is very oil-like.
The city says it started when they drained their water tower on Wednesday, which they haven’t done in decades.
They say sediment got into the pipes.
Bottled water is now being shipped to the town as crews work to flush out it all out. SOURCE

Pro-Jihad discussions from the San Bernardino terrorist were posted on FB before her “Fiancé Visa” was approved. Do you really think this won’t be used as additional freedom of speech restrictions and an obscene increase of invasions of privacy?
The “reviewing” of FB, websites and emails will NOT be contained to possible terrorists, but will go across the board.
That means you and me!
This is a MUST SEE alternative video site with uncensored videos, points of view and revealing disclosures covering almost every conceivable topic! This intiguing, safe site is ‘Before It’s News’ approved! This is not a gimick; it’s the real deal.
The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?
God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.
You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.
Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins. Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
