NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) -Tuesday night an emergency city council meeting was called in Zavalla concerning their water. We learned during the meeting the public works director who has been working on the cities' water system since it gave out last week has quit. There are six people in the state of Texas who are licensed to work on the type of well in Zavalla, and two of those people are living in the town. The council discussed hiring one of them but decided to table the final decision. The plan is to hire an interim person until someone else can obtain the proper licensing and start full time. Many residents of Zavalla showed up to the meeting to voice their opinions over the situation.
