Zepeda wins place 4 race for Hutto council as place 1 heads to runoff
Hutto voters elected a new City Council member during the May 2 election, while residents will have to return to the polls in June for a runoff election. The overview Corina Zepeda won the election for Hutto City Council Place 4 after receiving more than 54% of the votes, defeating Brandon DeLeon. The water level of Lake Pfluger- ville is climbing after multiple breaks to the city’s Colorado River pipeline occurred in recent months, halting water flow into Pflugerville’s primary reservoir. The overview The city announced April 24 that Lake Pflugerville’s level officially reached the targeted elevation of 633 feet. The lake’s rise comes after city officials declared a local disas- ter and set restrictions across the city in March, following four breaks to the water line. A fifth break then occurred on March 17. With the improved level to the lake, the city moved into modified Stage 1 emergency water restric- tions on May 1. Under Stage 1 restrictions, hand watering of lawns and landscapes is allowed on designated watering days before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. Vehicle washing is allowed on designated days using a bucket or hose with a shutoff nozzle. Use of water to wash, rinse or treat outdoor surfaces is prohibited, Lake Pflugerville reaches target of 633 feet
Zepeda will replace outgoing council member Peter Gordon on the dais. The race for Hutto City Council Place 1 will move to a runoff elec- tion between Jerrel Reynolds and Brandy McCool, after no candidate received more than 50% of the vote. The runoff will be held June 13. Reynolds received 41.9% of the votes, followed by McCool’s 24.1%. and swimming pools and hot tubs are allowed to operate normally, although pools may not be drained or refilled. Additionally, fishing at Lake Pflugerville is allowed from the shore and piers, but lake swim- ming and boating will not be permitted until the lake reaches 634 elevation. Going forward The city is also planning for a two-week scheduled shutdown in late May to allow crews to com- plete the full repairs to the existing raw waterline. The two-week shut- down will not result in a disruption in service delivery.
