A press conference was held on Friday afternoon in reference to the Quemado irrigation canal rupture that has caused a state of emergency throughout the northern part of Precinct 3 for the past week.
County Judge David Saucedo introduced his team of personnel who have been diligently working towards a solution in reference to this veritable disaster which struck the Quemado Valley on Monday causing emergency water rationing and in some cases the complete loss of water pressure to users in and around the area.
He took the liberty of thanking the members of the media for taking the time to cover this story helping his team to inform the general public of progress that has been made with respect to the disaster.  He also wanted to personally thank all of the entities who have come together to assist the County in this time of great need as a myriad of people are involved in the repair efforts at this time.
He then passed the podium to County Commissioner Jose Luis Rosales who will serve as the official spokesperson from here on out as this situation comes full circle and the canal is finally rebuilt.
Rosales reported that Maverick County Water Works is presently delivering the natural resource to all 320 active accounts at this time thanks to two pumps graciously provided by Stallion, a contractor who was made available via Chesapeake after State Representative Pete Gallego made contact with them late Tuesday.
Rosales took the opportunity to thank Gallego for quickly coming to the aid of the county as other members of the media asked whether our actual representatives had come forward as well.
Pressure was down in many areas of the precinct but has since been restored.
The pumps have moved a quantity of 700,000 gallons in the past twenty four hours.
The County is waiting for approval of a Texas Department of Agriculture application for $250,000.00 in aid.
