Water Quality and Conservation efforts
We appreciate the beauty and importance of our great water resources here in north Texas.
That’s why we focus on keeping Willow Creek Park as clean as we can since it feeds into the Trinity River.
With the installation of our rain reclamation system we can help demonstrate water conservation practices which will help reduce the dependence on city water for things like irrigation.
Try to model good waste management practices which help to reduce water pollutants by putting appropriate wastes where they belong.
