With Central Texas experiencing extremely high temperatures, city leaders issued a reminder to be aware of Excessive Heat Watch and Excessive Heat Warning alerts from the National Weather Service. A warning means action should be taken immediately to avoid heat-related illness.

In addition, city pool fees are waived Aug. 9-Sept. 30, except for Barton Springs.
