News Stream – September 2020
This month we highlight how the District worked diligently to adjust plans, projects and programs to minimize the financial impacts on our cities dealing with economic challenges from the pandemic. You can read more about it in our Proposed FY21 Budget and Rates Fact Sheet.
We’ve also got an update on restoring streams as part of the overall Bois d’Arc Lake project, how we continue our long-term strategic planning to accommodate the growth in suburban areas, resources to know more, water less, and ways to support planning for a statewide Fats, Oils and Grease awareness campaign.
Plus, industry resources, virtual events and more.
