Notice of Public Hearing:
The City Council held a public hearing on Wednesday, January 21 at the City
Council meeting for the purpose of proposing a portion of Ambassador Row for
funding through HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
This program is based on public works needs in Tarrant County cities, and the
Ambassador Row area of the city is the only area in DWG that qualifies for this
program. Citizens are urged to express their favorable agreement with the
construction of greatly needed paving and water improvements to this portion
of Ambassador Row by letter or by email to City Hall, as positive citizen input
assists in gaining more points and, therefore, a higher level of funding for the
project. The City staff has estimated that the City will receive approximately
$130,000 to $140,000 from HUD for this project if approved.
Citizens are encouraged to express their support by emailing city hall at
cityhall@cityofdwg.net or by letter to city hall.
Water/Drought Update
The following information is from the Tarrant Regional Water District.
North Texas continues to be in the grips of severe to extreme drought
conditions. Rainfall for 2014 was close to 15 inches below average resulting in
one of the driest years on record.
The Tarrant County District reservoir storage is currently holding at 61.5%. For
now, rains and low customer demands are helping to keep lake levels above
the Stage 2 drought trigger of 60%.
However, the probability that we will reach the 60% drought trigger within the
coming weeks remains high.
Stage 2 drought restrictions have the same water use limitations as in Stage 1,
with the exception of landscape irrigation being limited to no more than once
per week. A preliminary landscape irrigation schedule has been included in the
attached water supply update. Please click below, for further information and
the update. Tarrant County Water/Drought update

XTO Update:
XTO is in the final phase of construction at the Elkins site in Dalworthington
Gardens. XTO is also resuming production of the existing gas wells at this site.
Currently, two of the new wells are flowing to the sales meter, and XTO
expects to begin production for the other two new wells on Oct. 9 During
these activities, you may experience an elevated sound level, muffled sounds
of engines and some trucks accessing and exiting the site. These fully
supervised activities are completely normal with this phase of production
operations. XTO expects to conclude the activities as soon as practical.

Water restriction notice:
The primary focus of Stage 1 actions is to significantly reduce outdoor
watering, which can account for as much as 50 percent of the daily residential
water used during the summer. Stage 1 limits outdoor watering with an
irrigation system or hose-end sprinkler to a maximum of two assigned days per
week for all customers. Residential customers whose addresses end in odd
numbers (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) are permitted to water lawn and landscapes only on
Sundays and Thursdays. Addresses ending in even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8 or 0) may
water on Saturdays and Wednesdays only. Non-residential customers, including
apartments, businesses, parks and common areas, can water only on Tuesday
and Fridays. No watering is allowed on Mondays.
The time of day restriction, which prohibits outdoor watering with sprinklers
between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., continues to be in effect.
Watering by hand-held hose, drip irrigation or soaker hose is allowed at any
time. Residents are encouraged to limit such watering to a maximum of two
hours per day.
Other Stage 1 measures include the following.
- Vehicle washing is limited to the use of hand-held buckets and a hose with a positive shutoff valve. Vehicles may be washed at any time at a carwash.
- No hosing of buildings or other structures for purposes other than fire protection.
- Encouraging no hosing of paved areas, such as sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, etc.
- Encouraging hotels, restaurants and bars to serve water only upon request.
- Establishing new turf is discouraged, and a variance is required to do so.
