 The Broadway 830 Restaurant has re-opened today after several months of remodeling after an overnight electrical fire forced the the Uvalde based restaurant known for its artisan pizza and craft beer to close. 

  While the doors opened at 10:30am today, Broadway 830 kicked off its Grand Re-opening with a ribbon cutting by the Uvalde Area Chamber of Commerce. 

  According to Skyway Entertainment Marketing Director Victoria Dühring who spoke in an interview with Uvalde Radio Tuesday, January 10th stated there was a lot of damage behind the bar but the entire restaurant suffered smoke damage.

  During the time the restaurant was shut down “They (the owners) wanted to take this opportunity to bring back Broadway back better than ever,” Dühring said.

Low water levels within the City’s water towers over the Uvalde downtown area and north of town near the Honey Bowl resulted in low water pressure on Friday, December 23rd for many municipal water customers.

“There was a water leak and a control panel issue. All was resolved pretty rapidly,” Uvalde City Councilmember Chip King said.

According to City of Uvalde Utilities Manager Ray Ramos, the low water levels prompted city workers to turn on a different water well to replenish water levels inside the towers and restore water pressure. Several residents on Uvalde social media pages reported they had experienced low water pressure on Friday.

“The basic problem was the water leak and control panel issue. The resolving process was to switch to another well,” King said.
