College Station Water - Where Does It Come From?
July 3rd, 2009 Categories: Buying Real Estate, College Station Neighborhoods
Do you ever wonder where the College Station water you drink comes from?

Electric Lawn Mowers - Green but Grievous

Green Lawn Mower
BRYAN, TX — The Texas Municipal Power Agency encourages homeowners to use electric lawn mowers rather than gas to promote cleaner air. They are offering vouchers worth $150 toward the purchase of an electric-powered machine, corded or cordless.
You’re thinking, I gotta push this reel mower or work my way around power cords? That’s a big sacrifice for clean air.
