We're excited to start highlighting some of the amazing coaches we have at the Liberty Rec! We were blown away by all of the incredible nominations and stories that so many of you shared with us... it was hard to pick just one. But nonetheless, the we did and we're excited to announce...

"P-Nut" Williams as our first ever Coach of the Week! Take a second to read what a parent wrote about Coach Williams and what makes him so great.

"I would like to take a moment to nominate Coach Pnut (from 10u Sexton football) for Coach of the Week. He embodies the qualities of an outstanding coach by seeing each player as an individual and working with them in ways that bring out their best.

When Coach Pnut coached my son—and even now as I watch him with other children—he reminds me of Coach Yoast from Remember the Titans. While many coaches focus on tough love or big motivational speeches from the sidelines, Coach Pnut takes a different approach. He consistently finds a way to pull each child aside, get down on their level, and truly connect with them. (I have attached a photo from this past Tuesday’s game)

As a parent, I know that no two children are alike. I don’t parent my daughter the same way I parent my younger son, nor do I parent my younger son the same way I parent my older son. Each child learns differently, responds to criticism differently, and requires a unique approach. I see that same understanding reflected in the way Coach Pnut coaches. He recognizes individuality, adjusts his style, and helps each player grow not only as an athlete but also as a person.

For these reasons, I wholeheartedly believe that Coach Pnut deserves recognition as Coach of the Week. His ability to connect with players, adapt to their needs, and inspire them makes him an exceptional leader and role model."

WOW! Thanks Coach Williams for ALL that you do!

9/2 Update: Some areas are beginning to see their water clear up. Please remember, there is no threat to safety…air in the lines is simply taking time to work its way out. A boil advisory is not in place.

5 days ago, The City of Liberty
Attention Liberty Community: We are still experiencing air in the water lines. The only way to resolve this is by opening hydrants to allow the air to escape. Please know this is not “wasting” water—it is standard practice for water companies, and your bill will not be affected. The City of Liberty recognizes that there are costs associated with operating a water system, and part of that process includes running water as needed to maintain quality. The timeframe for the air to fully clear is beyond our control, but our Public Works team has been working diligently throughout the weekend to monitor the situation. The water remains safe to consume. If you notice dark or discolored water, please call our emergency line (864-843-3956) immediately. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Open running fire hydrant.
Notice: Following the valve replacement on 8/27, some air has entered the water system, which may cause water to appear cloudy or “milky.” Public Works crews are actively flushing fire hydrants throughout the city to clear the system.

At this time, there is no boil water advisory in place - we will update you if this changes.

If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at 864-843-3177 ext. 2.
