Duncanville Public Works continue cleaning up sewage overflow after the heavy rainfall this week.

Here in North Texas it’s common to get a resurgence of summer in mid-September.

Less than 20 percent of a 461,000-gallon (1.7-million-liter) gasoline spill in Texas during Hurricane Harvey was recovered by the company responsible, while the rest evaporated or soaked into the ground, a U.S. Coast Guard official said Thursday.

A Kaufman County city is under a Boil Water Notice after four water line breaks reduced the city’s water system pressure.

Authorities say a blocked line caused more than 50,000 gallons of sewage to spill in Burleson Wednesday afternoon.

Environmental groups in Texas want to overturn a state action they say exempted large coal-fired power plants from federal limits on particulates and other pollutants during startup, shutdown and maintenance at 19 power plants.
