By james art LAREDO, Texas (KGNS) – Laredo’s mayor spoke out following the cancellation of a boil water notice and the approval of a consulting contract with SGR for an interim utility director. He stressed that the city will focus on identifying the source of the bacteria that caused the positive test results.
Mayor Dr Victor Treviño noted: “The problem did not appear overnight – the water infrastructure problems go back decades and action must be taken to prevent this from happening again.” He added: “We are not saying completely , that this may never happen again until we address the question of what is the cause.”
