Spring is here and we're celebrating our green thumbs by having Melissa Gaudy from Grow It Land Design as this month's featured speaker. Melissa has worked in landscaping for many years and is eager to share her passion for plants by offering information, tips, and ideas. Any questions or ideas of your own that you want to run by her, she'll happily answer.

There will something in this program for all shades of green thumbs, so we hope to see you there!

Dallas County Utility & Reclamation District Important Notice For Homeowners
If your home backs up to DCURD waterway or land, be advised...
During DCURD's recent scheduled mow their landscaper made them aware of landscaping debris that was found on DCURD property.  Their landscaping company picked up the material but informed them additional work will come at an extra cost next time.
Per the DCURD office, if your home backs up to DCURD property, you are not allowed to dump any landscape material or debris onto DCURD property.

Additionally, DCURD has informed us that no homeowner may discharge water from an adjacent property onto their property or waterways without proper prior authorization. Per Section 7.145 of the Texas Water Code this type of activity is also a violation of State law that is punishable by fine. If you have any additional questions or concerns please reach out to Juan Yanez, Projects Manager with the
Dallas County Utility and Reclamation District (DCURD), located at 850 E. Las Colinas Blvd., Irving, TX 75039. His cell number is 469-456-7947.
