Soil erosion threatens Heritage Cove
By David Webb
The Monitor Correspondent
GUN BARREL CIT Y-
Parts of Heritage Cove
Commercial Business Dis-
trict are at risk of losing
their property values be-
cause of erosion problems
that also threaten to cre-
ate an environmental haz-
ard for Cedar Creek
Lake, according to East
Cedar Creek Fresh Wa-
ter Supply district general
manager Bill Goheen.
Goheen told the water
district’s board of directors
at their regular monthly
meeting on May 22, that
the erosion had already
compromised the district’s
utility easement that con-
tains sewer infrastructure,
collecting domestic waste
for Heritage Cove. There
are four areas of erosion
that could eventually lead
to the eight-inch pipe
breaking and the ground
and the lake becoming
contaminated with raw
sewage, he said.
“It’s a major concern for
the long-term integrity of
the intrastructure,” Goheen
said.
Goheen recommended
and the board approved
spending $8,725 to stabi-
lize the pipe. The work to
be done by AAA Sanita-
tion includes the installation
of concrete casing to sup-
port the pipe, and board
approved another $1,500
for contingency expenses
that may arise on the
project.
Goheen said he consid-
ered the repairs within the
water district’s easement
essential, and he noted that
he had written letters to the
owners of the commercial
property explaining that
they would be responsible
for solving erosion prob-
lems on their property to
prevent further damage or
risk to the pipe.
The water district’s ser-
vice policies includes a

Kindergarten students from Nikki Phillip’s Kemp Primary class are engrossed in their new books as they
wait quietly for the rest of the class to join them. The new books were given to them by the Rotary Club of
Cedar Creek Lake May 17. The Reading is Fundamental program hopes to engender a love of reading in
children. Area libraries will be hosting a number of special presentations weekly in June and July to peak
their curiosity and continued reading so reading skills do not diminish over the summer break from school.

Monitor Staff Reports
AUSTIN-Last Sun-
day, the Texas House
adopted a balanced
state budget for the
2014-15 biennium that
restores $3.4 billion of
the $5.4 billion cut from
education last time.
The $94.6 billion
Texas budget reflects
an 8.4 percent growth
rate over last biennium,
before $102.3 billion in
federal funds is added.
So, it does not exceed
the state’s constitutional
spending limit (of a pro-
jected 10.71 percent
economic growth rate).
At the close of the
83rd Legislative Session
Monday, the governor
immediately ordered a
special legislative ses-
sion to address redis-
tricting. Other issues
were expected to be
added.
