Call 811 before you dig!
With spring finally here, many homeowners and businesses will be looking to spruce up the exterior appearance of their properties as they continue to remove dead and damaged plants from the major freezes of recent winters.
Please be aware that Texas law requires homeowners to contact 811 two business days (excluding weekends and holidays) before digging, even if you are working in your own backyard. Utility companies will then be notified to mark their underground facilities on your property within a few days, typically with spray paint or colored coded pin flags. There is no charge or fee for the call or the utility marking service. Location services can also be requested online at www.texas811.org or www.call811.com.
Many underground utilities are quite shallow, so when installing irrigation lines, planting trees, shrubs, fence posts, or anything that requires digging in your property, please remember call 811 before you dig!
Waketon Road Improvement Project
Construction continues on the road project as drainage culverts have been delivered and are being installed. Traffic patterns on the Double Oak portion of Waketon Road will remain EASTBOUND ONLY throughout most of the summer as the northern half of the permanent pavement is constructed. Concurrently with this construction, the eastern portion of the roundabout at Chinn Chapel Road is being constructed. Temporary pavement is in place at the intersection of Waketon Road and Chinn Chapel Road in order to facilitate the Flower Mound portion of the roundabout. Please use extra care and drive cautiously through these construction zones.
