BexarMet OKs hiring water cops
More water cops soon will be patrolling the streets of Bexar County after the board of the Bexar Metropolitan Water District voted late Wednesday to hire its own part-time corps of officers to look for those violating water restrictions. The San Antonio Water System for several years has hired five off-duty San Antonio police officers on a part-time basis to patrol for violations and to visit addresses that have landed on a water-wasters' list. After one storage tank was drained and several others were in danger of being emptied, BexarMet last week banned landscape sprinkling in several of the North Side communities it serves. Those areas beginning this week went on a once-a-week sprinkling schedule. Most of the customers in the affected areas — the subdivisions of Timberwood Park, Lookout Canyon and Stone Oak and the towns of Hollywood Park and Hill Country Village — are adhering to the restrictions, BexarMet General Manager Gil Olivares told the board.
Public Storage, Shurgard Delay Meetings
GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) - Public Storage Inc. and Shurgard San Antonio Storage building Centers Inc. on Tuesday said they have postponed their respective shareholder meetings because a regulatory review of filings related to their planned merger is not yet complete. The real estate investment trusts, focusing on the self-storage sector, have not set a new date for the meeting. The companies said the delay came because the Securities and Exchange Commission has not finished reviewing a joint proxy statement and prospectus. .
