Williams gets a gusher
WILLIAMS — There is a quote attributed to W.C. Fields concerning why he does not drink water. The various versions are really not appropriate here. Suffice it is to say that W.C. Fields will not be drinking water in Williams.
Ian Tabeling checks the pH and temperature of the water before releasing crop into the water.
Well, not just because he has been dead for many years now. It is also because the Arizona Game & Fish truck arrived from the Peach Springs hatchery to restock the local lakes.
Ian Tabeling told me he stocked Santa Fe and was there to stock the Buckskinner reservoir—to the delight of the anglers waiting for a bite. His partner was stocking White Horse, he said.
This is welcome news for anglers who have been trying with no success since the reservoirs were lowered because of recent drought conditions.
(Sorry. Forgot to ask his partners name or if they were stocking Dogtown or Kaibab.)

Williams Water responds quickly
WILLIAMS — While walking in Williams, this reporter happened upon a burst pipe at the train park on Railroad Avenue across the street from I-40 Fleet Rentals.
The burst irrigation pipe was reported at 3:33 p.m. and an investigator responded in less than four minutes. In ten-minutes, a crew was on the scene to secure the water.
It appears that the pipe had just burst and because of the quick response only about 30-gallons may have been lost, at most.
Even though the city may be in Level 1, it is important to report leaks and bursts pipes immediately to the city at 928-635-4451 so that they can be secured.
