ABILENE – Hazardous driving conditions are developing this afternoon as a winter storm continues to move across the Abilene District. Snow, sleet and ice have been reported in all 13 counties through the district.
Texas Department of Transportation crews are monitoring and treating roadways and will continue tonight and tomorrow as needed. Travel is discouraged as this storm is forecast to last throughout the night. Any precipitation that falls overnight will likely impact Thursday morning travel, since temperatures are not expected to be above freezing until Thursday afternoon.
Drivers are strongly urged to check road conditions before deciding to drive and to follow these guidelines:
• Reduce speed. Speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions, not winter road conditions.

• Maintain at least three times the normal following distance on snow or ice.

• Watch carefully for trucks and equipment treating roadways, and stay at least 200 feet back if you are behind a snow plow.

• Use extra caution on bridges, ramps, overpasses and shaded areas as they tend to freeze first.

• If you start to slide, ease off the gas pedal or brakes. Steer into the direction of the skid until you feel you have regained traction then straighten your vehicle.

Motorists are urged to visit www.drivetexas.org before heading out. They can also call the TxDOT weather hotline at 1-800-492-5252. Road conditions are also available on Facebook at www.facebook.com/txdot and Twitter,www.twitter.com/TxDOTAbilene.

Mandatory Language for a Maximum Contaminant Level Violation
MCL, LRAA / TTHM
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has notified the City of Haskell water
system that the drinking water being supplied to customers had exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established the MCL for total trihalomethanes at 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L) based on locational running annual average (LRAA), and has determined that it is a health concern at levels above the MCL. Analysis of drinking water in your community for total trihalomethanes indicates a compliance value in quarter three 2014 of 0.105 mg/L for DBP2-02. rihalomethanes are a group of volatile organic compounds that are formed when chlorine, added to the water during the treatment process for disinfection, reacts with naturally-occurring organic matter in the water. Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidney, or central nervous-systems, and may-have an increased risk of getting cancer. You do not need to use an alternative water supply. However, if you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor to get more information about how this may affect you.
We are taking the following actions to address this issue:
We are discussing the matter with the North Central Water Authority, who treats and delivers the water to the City of Haskell; and we are continuing to flush our lines in an attempt to move the water through our lines.Please share this information with all people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (i.e., people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by and or mail.
If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact Matthew Duran at (940) 864-2333.
