The city of Georgetown has adjusted the dates for its annual water system maintenance, according to a city news release.

The chlorine rinse will now take place Aug. 3-Sept. 3 in order to better coordinate with neighboring cities. Round Rock, Leander, Liberty Hill and Cedar Park will perform similar maintenance during this time.

The background: The maintenance uses chlorine to disinfect and clear sediment from drinking water.

The chlorine concentration of the water will remain within state and federal drinking water standards, meaning it is safe for people, pets and plants, according to the release.

Residents may notice a chlorine odor and a green or brown tint to the water at points during the system reset. The chlorine-treated water is not safe for fish tanks.

For dialysis patients and centers, all chemical disinfectants must be removed before the water is used in dialysis machines.

Get involved: For questions and concerns about the system maintenance, residents can email Georgetown Customer Care.

A case against a former Williamson County elected official and assistant county attorney was dismissed by prosecutors in July.

In a nutshell: A criminal case alleging former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody and former Assistant Williamson County Attorney Jason Nassour tampered with evidence related to the death of Javier Ambler was dismissed by prosecutors July 1, a news release from the office of Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza states.

The case was dismissed due to a previous judgment preventing evidence against Chody and Nassour from being presented. Per the release, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals declined to review a lower court's decision that the evidence was inadmissible, leaving the state unable to present evidence of guilt.

North Austin will soon be home to a major expansion of The University of Texas’ medical, academic and research systems with the planned opening of the UT Dell Medical Center in 2030. 

The 27-acre medical complex, a collaboration with the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, will break ground this fall. The center is expected to initially include a hospital tower, outpatient facilities and emergency department, with new facilities to be added in phases through 2032. The medical complex is one piece of the recently announced 300-acre UT Dell Campus for Advanced Research off MoPac.

The facility was initially expected to rise downtown near Dell Seton Medical Center, and state lawmakers removed building restrictions on a university-owned property for the UT-MD Anderson project. However, the project’s scope led officials to select Northwest Austin instead. The university confirmed the medical center will feature 300-500 patient beds for specialized care, including potential cutting-edge clinical trials and therapies, to ensure patients won’t have to navigate multiple facilities or search outside Central Texas to address their needs.
