Health of previously planted trees
A new spreadsheet tracks whether trees that developers promised actually survived. Circle K lost 12 of 16 trees and will be told to replant; a couple of properties have records gaps staff will chase down.
Water Quality Advisory
Rockport’s tap water may taste or smell a little off starting May 11, but city officials say it’s temporary and not a reason to panic. You may want to keep a filter or bottled water handy until it clears up.
Boil Water Notice Lifted
Rockport’s boil water notice is officially over, so tap water is safe to drink again. That means no more boiling or buying bottled water just to get through the day. It’s a small but welcome return to normal for residents and local businesses.
