04:50 This is our only source of water, this fire plug. We've been on this fire plug for over three years and we cannot get Round Rock or Austin to give us a permanent source of water even though they have water right here they refuse to let us tie into it. We have to use the fire plug
06:06 two inches, which is not enough pressure. It's against state law and it's not safe As you can see there is a whole subdivision behind us of Bill Milburn homes They get closer and closer every day They all have water they all have sewer but yet we're told over and over that there's not enough water for Northridge Acres Even when we do get water from Austin We are only being offered four inches of water That's for the whole sub-division So I just can't understand why this is happening. Our three acres is surrounded on three sides by the city of Round Rock, we have Dell computer with four different buildings right against the subdivision We have food processing plants we have a housing development that's enclosing us

The next month they said turned his water off with no notice whatsoever.

His whole family had to move out because they could not, they didn't even know their water was cut off and their landlady paid the rent, paid the water bill and they still refused to turn their water back on. My name is Nettie Brown I'm a resident in Northridge Acres I've been living in this neighborhood for over 30 years. As you can see behind me, I've had to build a six foot fence just to keep out the health department. We work for a living here my husband does mechanic work he does plumbing work every day i have the hassle of having to open and close this gate because of the retaliation from the county commissioners and through the health department so i can't see that
