Default Hey Ol Thom Branch Water fraud

Mystery of San Antonio tree may be solved

SAN ANTONIO Officials may have solved the mystery of a San Antonio tree
that's gurgled water from its trunk for months.

The site has attracted a stream of pilgrims who consider it holy water.

The San Antonio Express-News reports city water system officials shut
off service to Lucille Pope's home -- and found that the tree stopped
leaking.

Her son, Lloyd Pope, says authorities think the roots had gotten into
the waterline.

Lucille Pope had sought answers from the Texas Forest Service, the
Edwards Aquifer Authority and nurseries -- with no results.

Meanwhile, visitors have come from as far as Laredo, Dallas and
Georgetown to see the red oak that's spouted water in the midst of the
drought.

Damn ! They should of left it alone...Did you see it on TV?

Her son was counting the Pilgram Bucks! 20 Bucks a drink!
