Serving Pipe Creek, Lakehills and Mico

INDEPENDENCE DAY, the Fourth of July, or July Fourth, was the date in 1776 when the members of the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, whereby we broke our ties to the Kingdom of Great Britain, now known as the United Kingdom.
Celebrated since its first anniversary by the states, it was first called Independence Day in 1791. In 1870 Congress made it an unpaid holiday for federal workers and in 1938 changed that to a paid holiday for federal workers.
It is considered THE National Day of the United States.

LAKE LEVEL

The Medina River has a flow of 0.0 cfs in Bandera, standing 2.45 feet deep at the gage. This means the Medina River is not running now.
