Welcome to the
Environmental Department
What is the Environmental
Department and what does it do? The Environmental Department regulates
many areas that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) have identified to be of
concern to the environment. In order to keep pollutants and
contaminants out of our drinking water, streams, storm drains, and other
areas, the Environmental Department enforces these rules and regulations
set by state and federal laws.
The Environmental Department
regulates Stormwater, Industries, Businesses, Food Establishments,
Commercial Car Washes, Residential, and other areas. These storm

Helpful Hints:
-
Outdoor
Watering is restricted between the hours of 10am and 6pm. When
watering, water longer, less often. This promotes deep roots for
healthier grass, thus needing less water. Less water, lower water
bill!!!
-
Grass
Clippings cannot be “blown” from your yard in accordance with the
City’s Stormwater Ordinance. Instead, mulch the grass. It
helps keep nutrients on the lawn which helps to maintain a strong
root system.
-
Tired
of paying for a plumber to unclog your sewer line? Try this,
don’t use your garbage disposal, use your trash can. Grease left
over? Pour leftover grease into a container and save it for later
use, or, let it get solid, and then simply throw it away!!! Excess
food particles and grease in your sewer lines WILL clog your lines.
