Default Newell "Evacuation" Canceled

As a resident of Newell, I was concerned about 2 recent posts on TOTV regarding sewer work requiring the evacuation of all 43 homes in Gunner Villas. The posts had (accurate) detailed information about when these homes were to be empty and what construction was being done. These posts threatened the safety and security of these residents - and they were going through enough. Thanks to the TOTV Team for removing them quickly - and for the overwhelming support you all had in sharing our concerns to the OP.

Yesterday, residents were informed the "evacuation" was unnecessary and the construction was mostly completed without further digging up the street as was originally planned. While there is more to do, it does not require them leaving.
