Texoma lake levels jumps from rainfall
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Texoma lake levels jumped nine percent last week due to the beneficial rainfall. Lake Arrowhead rose 8.6%, to 96.6%, and Lake Kickapoo rose 10.4%, to 99.3%. The combined total for Lakes Arrowhead and Kickapoo is 97.3%. Residents remain under Stage One Drought restrictions at this time. However, the Wichita Falls City Council may consider a resolution to lift those restrictions at its Tuesday, May 20 meeting. The agenda for that meeting has not been set. Last week, the Water Resources Commission voted to recommend lifting the restrictions. Per City Ordinance, council action is the only way to lift drought restrictions after an automatic trigger.

Muscatine declares snow emergency
The City of Muscatine Department of Public Works has declared a snow emergency, beginning at 7:00 a.m. Wednesday, February 12 through 7:00 a.m. Friday, February 14. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for the Muscatine area from 6:00 a.m. Wednesday to 3:00 a.m. Thursday. Heavy snow is possible with total snow accumulations between six and eight inches possible. According to a release: Brian Stineman, Public Works Director, reminds citizens that City Code 7-10-7 states that while a snow emergency is in effect, in the interest of the safety of the community, no person shall park, or allowed to remain parked, any vehicle on any portion of a snow emergency route that the snow emergency applies. Stineman reminds residents to find off-street parking for their vehicles in order to support the snow removal efforts and to expedite the snow removal process. Muscatine's Snow Emergency Ordinance states that on-street parking is prohibited or limited on city streets during a declared Snow Emergency. According to the revised code, when weather conditions warrant the declaration of a snow emergency, motor traffic will be expedited and parking on City of Muscatine streets will be prohibited or restricted for snow plowing and other purposes. City Code states that during a declared snow emergency, no person shall park, or allow to remain parked, any vehicle on any portion of a Snow Emergency route. If the PUSH BACK POLICY is implemented by the Department of Public Works for additional snow removal efforts, vehicle owners on residential streets would be asked to follow the alternate side parking guidelines as stated in the policy. For example, on even numbered days Public Works plow crews will push snow back to the curb on the odd side of the street, so residents are asked to park on the even side of the street (according to resident's address number). On odd numbered days, plow crews will push snow back on the even side of the street, so residents are asked to park on the odd side of the street. On all streets where parking is allowed on one side only, if the permitted side (where parking is allowed) is even numbered, vehicles can park on that side only on even numbered days, and find alternative off-street parking on odd days. If the permitted side (where parking is allowed) is odd-numbered, vehicles can park on that side only on odd-numbered days, and find alternative off-street parking on even days. Please note that vehicles may be ticketed or towed if they are in violation of City Ordinance, or snow plow crews will plow around them if in violation of the Push Back Policy guidelines.
