WATER/SEWER LINE PROJECT
The City closed on the $3,000,000 Texas Water Development Board (TWBD) debt issuance to fund Phase #1 of the water and sewer line rehabilitation project on Friday, October 9th. Based on current projections the design portion of the project will be completed in December 2020. Bidding for the project will occur after the design is complete. The City hopes to enter the construction phase of the project in February 2021 and anticipates construction will last approximately a year. For more information on the sections of pipe that are designated for rehabilitation during Phase #1 of this project, please visit our website at www.nassaubay.com/WaterRehab.
YOUNG RESIDENTS TAUGHT RESPONSIBILITY A big appreciation to twelve-year-old Nicky Skelton and nine-year-old Evan Skelton for going above and beyond in our City’s dog park. Nicky and Evan recently got their new dog, Mishka, and their parents (Elena and Greg Kutsen) wanted to teach them the importance of picking up after their beloved pooch. Nicky and Evan were taken to David Braun Park where they cleaned the park of other people’s “lapses” in picking up after their dogs. Through their work, Nicky and Evan picked up 20 bags of dog feces left by irresponsible dog owners, which took about an hour to do. First and foremost, thanks to Nicky and Evan for their volunteer work and to Elena and Greg for instilling them with a sense of responsibility at a young age. They are all great assets to the City, and the Nassau Bay Parks and Keep Nassau Bay Beautiful Committees thank them for their service to the City. As a reminder, please take responsibility for your pets while visiting David Braun Park (or anywhere in the City). Each of the City’s parks has convenient “Mutt Mitt” stations and trash cans. As the signs at the Mutt Mitt stations indicate, you are required by City ordinance to keep your dog on a leash and clean up after your dog. City Ordinance Article II Cleanliness, Sanitation, and Safety of Premises, Sec. 9-26 Unsanitary Animal, Vegetable or Mineral Matter Remaining On Public Property, states: It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or permit to be or remain in or upon any public premises, any animal, vegetable or mineral matter, or any composition or residue thereof, which is in an unsanitary condition or is injurious to public health. In addition, this section, as well as Article I – In General, Sec. 3-4 – Animal at Large, stipulates that there can be penalties for non-compliance. Many of Nassau Bay’s residents enjoy their pets and taking them for walks in the City. The dog park in David Braun Park is also very popular. Please do your part to keep our public areas clean and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation!
