Lester Construction will continue to work on upgrading our water lines, if the weather permits.
These areas will be Tyler St. to Monroe Ave on 2nd St. through the month of October/December. We would like to ask for your patience during this time. While there will be water disruption and we will be on top of putting out alerts to let you know when water will be turned off.

Please note to receive an alert in regard to POCID activities, please sign up at our website pocid.org.
We are also asking customers to make it easier in finding your home when having sewer issues or meter readings that if possible to put the house numbers visible on the outside of your home. We have recently welcomed new employees from out of town and it would be very helpful.

Also, if you are aware that your neighbor does not have a cell phone to receive text messages or internet for email please have them call the office so we can give them a friendly call when we do send out alerts.
POCID is here for all our customer with any questions you may have, you may email us at pocmud@tisd.net or give us a call (Evangelina and Robyn) we will be more than happy to help.

All are welcome!

After such a dry summer, everyone was saying how we needed rain, of course when it started, as usual it did not stop until we were almost flooded. This is what usually happens in our area. But “Thanks” goes to our County Commissioner, Mr. Kenny Finster, along with Elroy Bell and other county employees. The mosquito spraying trucks were out before daylight most mornings. King Fisher Park has been mowed and kept in good condition, I went down and encountered a few mosquitoes, but it could have been so much worse. I had people calling the Chamber about the issue, but with the rain we had, it was sure to have problems.

The Chamber president, Darla Parker and Kacie Skalak put together an entry for the Calhoun County Fair Parade. Hopefully local businesses will support our local 4-H children at the Fair; they work hard with their entries.

Looking forward to announcing that the new website for the Chamber is up and running this month. This has been a process to bring more awareness to our community.

With October comes Halloween. Port O’Connor School will have a Carnival on the 27th, followed by Trunk or Treat, spearheaded by Mary Francis Bauer, beginning at 6:30 pm, so get your vehicle and yourself spooked out for this event at King Fisher Park.

If you want to get involved with the Chamber and would like to be on the ballot for 2019 director, please contact the Chamber:
361-983-2898–or email—361poc@gmail.com, Darla at darla611@aol.com
Next meeting November 12th, 6:30 pm, POC Community Center.
