2022 State of the City

This past week we were able to hear Mayor Bickerstaff present the 2022 State of the City! We appreciate the work that the Sachse Chamber of Commerce put into this annual event. Manny's Uptown served an amazing lunch and we couldn't have done it without our sponsor Linebarger.

Thank you to Mayor Margolis with the City of Rowlett and Mayor Porter with the City of Wylie for joining us. We enjoyed hearing about all the great things you are accomplishing in your community.

Did You Know One Quart of Used Motor Oil Washed Down a Storm Drain Pollutes Upto 250,000
Gallons of Water?

While the health of streams, lakes, and aquatic life is impacted by heavy rains and floods, people are the heaviest polluters of our waterways. Washing oils, gas, pesticides, fertilizers, and other toxins into stormwater collection systems puts our drinking water supplies at risk, and increases the time and costs required to monitor and effectively treat water with these pollutants.

Stormwater runoff is generated by precipitation that flows from rooftops, pavement, lawns, and bare soil. As stormwater runoff moves across these surfaces, it can pick up and transport pollutants to storm drains, which are connected to streams, rivers, and lakes. These pollutants can cause a number of water quality issues, including toxic algal blooms, fish kills, floating trash and debris, and higher drinking water treatment costs. Here are things you can do to help prevent stormwater pollution at home:

As a reminder, some residences may see a change in their bulk/brush collection schedule. Direct notification was sent to those affected (a specific area in Woodbridge West), so if you have not been contacted, your route has not changed.

Please see the map below for clarification, or check out CWD's search tool.

Discover Your Bulk & Brush Collection Day

The City has new times to set out your bulk trash and brush collection. Bulk trash needs to be placed out no earlier than 48 hours prior to your scheduled collection day. What about brush? It goes out on the Saturday prior to your collection day.

Please Note: no more than 6 cubic yards of brush/bulk are allowed to be out on the curb at one time.
