FEATURED BUSINESS OF
THE MONTH: NEXT
TURN OFF SPRINKLERS
FOR FREEZING WEATHER
LEAF RECYCLING
RETURNS JAN. 7
Mayor Richard Newton
recognized the December
Featured Business of the
Month, Next Wood Fired
Bistro & Vino Bar, at a
recent City Council
meeting. This restaurant is
located at 5003 Colleyville
Blvd.
The Office of Emergency
Management encourages
residents, neighborhoods, and
businesses to turn off
sprinkler systems when
freezing weather is expected.
When sprinklers run during
freezing temperatures water
can run off into roadways and
freeze, creating a hazard for
pedestrians and drives alike.
Turning off sprinkler systems
can also help prevent freezing
damage to irrigation systems.
Curbside leaf recycling
returns Saturday, Jan. 7.
Residents can place bagged
leaves on the curb for
pickup. This scheduled route
will also include Christmas
trees. No other waste will be
picked up at this time.
