What Is Going On With Stone Hill Apartments' Water in Killeen, TX

We discussed the effects of the bitter cold that went through the state of Texas recently. One place that was terribly affected was Stone Hill Apartments in Killeen. Recently, the complex has run into issues regarding its pipes.

Stone Hill Residents Speak To Issues

KWTX spoke to Lori Keith, who has been dealing with the burst pipe issue since last Friday. Keith told KWTX that she called apartment maintenance that night, who informed her about the burst pipes, and that the water had been turned to help workers fix the problem. However, the next day, maintenance failed to show, and Keith's carpet remained wet.

The leasing office, who were in contact with her through emails, told Keith to file a claim through her insurance, USAA, to fix the carpets. USAA has yet to respond at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, another couple came forward, Scotty and Allani Malone talking about their issues with the pipes bursting. According to KWTX, not only were their carpets waterlogged, their ceiling was also affected. Maintenance did appear Monday evening, but no changes have been noticed by the couple.

All three have been encouraged by the leasing office to use the public bathrooms available in the two vacant units. However all three are wary of using those restrooms.

Lori told KWTX there's lines for the bathroom, while Scotty and Allani are concerned with the cleanliness of them.

KWTX reached out to Stone Hill Apartments for comment, with the complex stating they "not available for an interview or statement" due to the complex having "all hands are on deck."

As this is a developing story, we will have more info when it becomes available.

Bet You Didn't Know: 10 Bizarre Texas Laws Still on the Books

Many states still have strange laws on the books that aren’t enforced or taken seriously anymore, and Texas is no exception.

Most of these laws are just funny now, but at one time, there was a valid (or at least somewhat valid) reason for them to exist.

Texas has plenty of strange rules and regulations that you could technically be prosecuted for if you violate them, since they've never been amended. Some of these are only for specific cities and not state-wide, but all of them are pretty odd!

Let's take a look at 10 of the weirdest ones in the Lone Star State.

Top 20 Restaurants Central Texans Wish Would Come to Temple

A while back, I asked the good people of Temple if they could picture a good restaurant to fill the lot on North General Bruce Drive where the soon to be torn down Long John Silver's stood.

This was before it was announced that a Dutch Bros. Coffee location would open there (which was one of the places I predicted as a contender in our article).

So now Dutch Bros. is open in that spot, but the responses to my survey were interesting because they paint a picture of just how diverse Temple's population is. People recommended some familiar restaurants with locations in the surrounding area, but also a few I'd never even heard of.

Here are the top 20 results of the survey. Let's see what the good people of Temple are craving!
