📰 News we're reading

• Floresville gas leak prompts full emergency response (wilsoncountynews.com) — Stockdale residents should know that a recent minor gas leak in Floresville drew a full emergency response, just days after a similar gas-line strike in Stockdale forced a citywide natural gas shutoff. In Floresville, contractors boring into the ground damaged a gas line, prompting street closures and brief home evacuations before crews confirmed it was safe and service remained largely unaffected.
