Community Notice: Update on Rocksprings Water Situation

The City of Sonora Emergency Operations Coordinator has been closely monitoring the developing water well issues in Rocksprings and is in constant communication with their Emergency Management Coordinator. Unfortunately, we have been informed that the water well situation is more severe than initially assessed. Crews are working diligently to address the issue, but the earliest estimate for resolution is now projected for Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

In response to this crisis, City of Sonora employees, along with the Sonora Police Department, delivered a trailer load of bottled water to Rocksprings earlier today. The City of Junction also joined in this effort, delivering additional water to support the community. This delivery was made just in time, as their bottled water supplies were running low

Rocksprings is currently coordinating with H-E-B and other food banks to establish a consistent and reliable supply of bottled water for its residents.

The City of Sonora will continue to collect bottled water donations and plans to make another delivery on Monday at noon. Donations are being collected at the Sonora Volunteer Fire Hall.  

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of Sonora for their generosity and for showing true neighborly spirit in this time of need.

Thank you for your continued support.
