LIFE UPDATE 🚨

Today is bittersweet. It’s my last morning on 12News Daybreak. For nearly a year and a half I’ve spent my days sleeping and my nights (or early, early mornings starting at midnight 😅) producing the 5 a.m newscast. While I wasn’t necessarily hired to be on-air, I give glory to God for being able to earn and for being given opportunities to work my way into a reporter and anchor role.

So here’s what’s next. I’m excited to annouce my new anchor/producer and reporter position at 12News! Southeast Texas is stuck with me for another couple of years 😉

You’ll see me anchoring on weekends and reporting during the week. 💗

Stage 2: Moderate Water Shortage Conditions

The City of Orange has initiated Stage 2 of the Drought Contingency Plan. Stage 2 water restrictions are MANDATORY, and expand the voluntary Stage 1 restrictions to include other non-essential water usage regarding:

- Washing vehicles, except for commercial car washes and service stations
- Filling swimming pools and operating ornamental fountains
- Serving water at restaurants, except upon request
- Power washing, wash downs, dust control, and flushing gutters

City of Orange Mayor Spears stated “Ensuring the safety of the community as a whole is our number one priority! Our region has experienced several incidents surrounding wildfires, loss of property, and potentially threatened the loss of life. We are taking action to protect our residents and to ensure that we are prepared to respond appropriately if any inclement situation occurs. Thank you for your understanding and God bless!”

For a comprehensive list of the mandatory water use restrictions, read the Drought Contingency Plan here: orangetexas.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1905/Drought-Contingency-Plan-PDF

If you live in Beaumont be careful not to excessively use water! Check our article for details on what the violation could cost you.

All customers must conserve water and minimize or discontinue water use for nonessential purposes during this time.
