Update on Arlan's Grocery Store Reopening

Date: September 10, 2024

Subject: Arlan's Grocery Store Reopening Update

Dear Community Members,

I am pleased to provide an update on the reopening of Arlan's Grocery Store, a valued establishment in our neighborhood. After several weeks of renovation from damage caused from hurricane Beryl, the city has received an update of a projected opening date of October 10, 2024.

The renovation project, which began in July from hurricane Beryl, aimed to make the necessary repairs for reopening. The store received major damage that has caused some delays, but management is persistent in their efforts to make these repairs as fast as possible.

The city will continue to work closely with Arlan’s management team and will update the community as needed.

We appreciate your patience and thank you for your continued support of our local businesses.

Warm regards,

Lance Petty
City Manager
City of Freeport

 

Boil Water Notice Rescinded

September 10, 2024

On September 05, 2024, the Texas commission of Environmental Quality required the City of Freeport public water system, TX0200005, to issue a boil water notice to inform customers, individuals, or employees that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of September 10, 2024.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Freeport City Hall at 979-233-3526 or Veolia at 979-233-4281.
