(Ed's Note: We have started out search engines to write a post of pre-PUB utilities in Brownsville. However, this dates back to 1928 before PUB had been established by a close popular vote. Specifically, we need any and all information (including photos, is any) our readers may have on these folks who started the ball rolling way back when. They are:
1. Electric Connections: Pete Rocha
2. Transmission, Water: Faustino Villarreal (Mario's dad)
3. Water Dept.: Mr. (?) Muñoz (Cheo's Dad?)
4. Sewer: Mr. (?) Recio
These people (and as you can see, we don't even have some of their first names) were the pioneers of utilities in Brownsville even before PUB. Whatever information you can provide us will make the post a better one and a recognition to the people who were the foundation of public utilities here. Thanks in advance.)

Bobby Blimp: "First to challenge sewage lines with huge piles of shit"
Why are they ALL Mexicans, can that be why the PUB is such
a failure today?
Juan you can easily do a search with access from library on their newspaper databases. All I know was that 1908 was the year Brownsville got electricity from a power plant. Let me know if you need any help or just ask a knowledgeable librarian who can navigate the damn thing. Sometimes lag time is a killer tho'
