signMandatory Water Conservation

June 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, all Hurst water customers are expected to comply with Mandatory Water Conservation measures.
No watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., unless by hand or soaker hose.
Read more about the measures.

To maintain the long-range integrity of our region's water supply, the City of Hurst is joining other communities that obtain water from the City of Fort Worth in implementing mandatory water conservation measures. Your cooperation and support plays a critical role in the success of our conservation efforts, and we appreciate your help and understanding. A copy of the plan can be obtained at the front desk of City Hall or by calling 817-788-7206. A printable copy can be found here.

Remember the "Four D's" to defend yourself against West Nile virus.Mosquito

DUSK / DAWN are the times of day you should try to stay indoors. This is when infected mosquitoes are most active.

DRESS in light-colored long sleeves and pants when you're outside. For extra protection you may want to spray thin clothing with repellent.

DEET (N,N-diethyl-M-toluamide) is an ingredient to look for in your insect repellent. Follow label instructions, and always wear repellent when outdoors.

DRAIN standing water in your backyard and neighborhood - bird baths, old tires, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters. These are mosquito breeding sites.

CreekStorm Drainage Utility

On February 24, 2009, City Council held public hearings to begin creation of a new utility for Storm Drainage. This process began in 1995 and was the result of un-funded federal mandates. The new utility results in a new item on Hurst utility bills: Storm Drainage Fee. The rate for residents is $4 per home water meter. This is equivalent to $1.93 per apartment unit and $1.19 per 1000 impervious square feet for commercial properties. For questions about the new utility, please call 817.788.7004. This is a dedicated number for Storm Drainage Utility inquiries. This new utility will help pay for water quality testing in streams, additional maintenance of waterways, more storm drainage construction projects, more erosion control projects and computer software for tracking more detailed permits and work order management.
