Every Spring season ground water appear flowing in most Wedgwood Neighborhood yards "South Hills".  Do you know if anyone has attempted to map these natural springs?  Where can I find online actual map records?

One person provided a possible explanation:

The South Hills underground aquifer is full. Read below ground water table. Excess water are natural springs release ground water to the area street storm water collection system and on to local rivers and lakes. On Wilkie way, I have traced one spring that runs along our North side back yard fence line from Marbury Way Eastward to Vega (read down hill). 

I used Ph test strips at Marbury Way and Vega.  Both tests had same Ph values.  Rules out swimming pools and city water.

First reports on Channel 11 11 people injured.  Suspect natural gas leak that lead to structural damage 900 Throckmorton Street. 

Received our 2023 Property Tax Statement. Homestead and over 65 and increase in Exemptions.

Largest reduction was Fort Worth ISD [update]and TC College, Tarrant County, TC Hospital and City of Fort Worth.  All these were due to increase in Exemption Amount

Cut our overall tax by 50%.  Good things are happening.

Need to learn IF these are permanent?

My September electric bill has a new charge added.

We use Reliant Energy.  We keep a detailed cost record on our Excel budget spread sheet.  Got September 2023 bill and was keying in the monthly costs like monthly electricity used, Oncor delivery costs etc... then this month I found a NEW small charge called "Temporary Emergency Electric Energy Facilities" of 14 pennies .14 cents.

So I called Reliant and learned that this was a charge probably from ONCOR bringing online additional 'Thermal power plant or Combustion Turbine power plant' power during a one time EMERGENCY ALERT as result of HIGH Electric usage.

She suggested that this .14 cent charge might be a 1 time charge because temperatures starting September onward will probably be going into FALL -> Winter reduced demand for electricity.  Well sort of..... for those who use Natural Gas for heating.

Interested in learning if anyone electric bill ALSO noticed a small "Temporary Emergency Electric Energy Facilities" charge on their September billing.

In the USPS mail today I got a FW Water Department flyer called "Improvements are on the horizon".   Now the city is going to replace existing water and sewer mains AGAIN.  OH YEAH !  I guess the Atmos Gas service lines to Wilkie Way home residents will wait until water and sewers are complete. 

Sewer lines are deepest, the Water over sewer mains, and gas service is near top and over all the buried utilities mains.

Impacted Streets include:
Warton Drive
Wren Ave
Wilkie Way
Wayland Drive
Colusa Drive
Moreley Ave
Denbury Drive
Vega Drive
And, in easements

Only thing they did not mention were "Contract Start and expected completion Dates"

I guess this is rebuilding our city infrastructure property taxes at work.  Should be grateful.  

Are we having fun yet?
