🚨 ODESSA WATER SMELLS WRONG. PEOPLE WANT PROOF IT’S SAFE. 🚨

Residents across Odessa are reporting tap water that smells like sulfur, sewage, or rotten eggs.

The City of Odessa says the water is still safe for drinking, cooking, bathing, and everyday use.

According to the City, the temporary smell and taste are tied to naturally occurring minerals and algae in water supplied by the Colorado River Municipal Water District after maintenance work flushed material through the system.

City officials also say there is no sewage contamination and no connection between the drinking water system and the sewer system.

That is the official explanation.

But here is where the public is frustrated.

When water coming out of your faucet suddenly smells like sewage, people are not going to feel reassured by a press release alone.

Families use this water to cook.

Children drink it.

Elderly residents depend on it.

People bathe in it and brush their teeth with it.

The City says testing is being done several times a day and that the water continues to meet state and federal standards.

Good.

Then show the public the results.

Post the numbers.

Explain what was tested, where it was tested, and when.

Transparency would shut down rumors faster than another statement telling people not to worry.

The City says conditions should improve as the water moves through the system, and most customers should notice things returning to normal within a day or so.

We are going to keep watching.

If you live in Odessa, let us know:

Have you noticed a strange smell or taste?

What part of town are you in?

And has it improved?

UPDATE FOUND. THANK YOU WEST TEXAS
🚨 ODESSA PARENT ASKING FOR HELP LOCATING 17-YEAR-OLD SON 🚨

A local parent is asking the Odessa community to help locate his 17-year-old son after the teenager reportedly left home following a disagreement over household rules.

According to the father, the rules centered around safety concerns involving drugs, fi****ms, inappropriate pictures, and social media posts that could place the teen or the family home at risk.

Whether people agree with every parenting decision is not the issue right now.

He is still a minor.

A police report has been filed, and the family says his phone has been offered to law enforcement to assist with the investigation.

If you know where he is, please contact the Odessa Police Department.

Please do not turn this into an argument about parenting in the comments. A family is trying to locate their child and make sure he is safe.

Share this where it may reach someone who knows his location.

⬇️ ORIGINAL POST FROM HIS FATHER ⬇️

So… last night my 17 year old son decided he was grown and no longer wanted to live in a house with rules. The rules:

1. You will not associate with these kids who are doing drugs and sending you pictures and messages about it.
2. You will not associate with these kids who are sending you videos of them with fi****ms. (Semi automatic handguns with high capacity magazines)
3. You will not be sending and receiving inappropriate pictures with girls on your phone.
4. You will not be posting or sending pictures of yourself flashing money and making yourself or my home a target for theft/burglary or robbery.

I understand that these rules may seem harsh to some of you. Unfortunately this is MY house. My son is a minor and decided to leave. I am responsible for him until he turns 18. A police report has been filed. His phone has been offered to the police to help with any investigation.

If you are aware of his location please contact odessa pd.

Please share this post anywhere that you think it may have an impact. Thank you.

🐾 THIS IS WHAT SHOWING UP LOOKS LIKE 🐾

The injured dog seen dragging a steel trap through West Texas is now safe, and a local community member named David deserves real credit for making that happen.

The video spread fast.

A lot of people watched it.

David Holman spent two days trying to safely catch the dog.

On Wednesday evening, the dog finally appeared near sunset. He saw the other dogs eating from what David called the “buffet” set up inside a 5-by-10 trap. Once the other dogs moved away, he went inside looking for food and water.

That’s when David was finally able to secure him safely.

The dog, now being called Trapper, was placed in a plastic crate and taken straight to a veterinarian. He had to be sedated so the heavy trap could be removed.

But the trap wasn’t the only injury.

The veterinarian also treated cuts from barbed wire and removed a pellet that had been lodged in his body from a pellet gun.

Let that sink in.

This dog had been injured by a trap, cut by barbed wire, and shot with a pellet gun, yet he kept going.

Trapper is now resting in isolation.

He has a follow-up appointment in seven days, and that’s when they hope to learn whether his toes can be saved.

Nobody knows yet whether he will ever become a fully tame, trusting pet.

But David made one thing clear:

Trapper will be taken care of.

That matters.

It would have been easy to share the video and move on. David didn’t do that. He went looking, stayed patient, set the trap, waited him out, and made sure he received medical care.

That is what community looks like.

Thank you, David, for stepping up when this animal had nobody else.

Please keep Trapper in your prayers. He still has a long road ahead, but now he finally has a fighting chance. 🐾

🚨 MISSING: HAVE YOU SEEN SAMANTHA DAVIS? 🚨

West Texas — Family members are asking for the public’s help in locating Samantha Davis, who has not been seen or heard from since May.

According to her family, Samantha has struggled with addiction, but they say she has always found a way to check in and let at least one family member know she was safe.

This time is different.

A missing person’s report has been filed, and her loved ones say they are becoming increasingly concerned for her well-being.

Family members have also received information that Samantha may have been with a white truck driver, but they do not know if that information is accurate.

If you have seen Samantha or know anything about where she may be, please contact your local law enforcement agency or reach out to her family.

Samantha, if you happen to see this, your family has one message:

“Please reach out. You don’t have to explain anything. We just need to know you’re alive and safe.”

🙏 Please share this post. Even the smallest piece of information could help bring Samantha home safely.
