AUSTIN (KXAN) - One misstep by a contractor last September cracked a 48-inch water main in northwest Austin, launching a geyser 50 feet over treetops and draining more than 16 million gallons of treated water into a ravine. It was enough to fill 24 Olympic swimming pools, but compared to how much water the city lost last year to leaky pipes, it was just a proverbial drop in the bucket.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - It's been nearly 20 years since Texas last studied the impact of mass deportations, and there's no plan to revisit the effort anytime soon. As the federal government continues widespread deportations of undocumented immigrants and workers, a bill that would have required an annual study of the effect unauthorized migrants have on the state has died.
