Dear Citizens,
Now that the
holidays are over.
we look forward
to springtime.
We hope you are
taking advantage of all the
services the city provides.
The Euless Family Life
Center is now open and the
Senior Center has so many
activities for seniors including
health checkups and fitness
programs along with games
and luncheons. The Fitness
Center is a popular spot for
those keeping up their exercise
programs. The Recreation
Center continues to host out-
standing programs for all ages.
Assistant Police Chief
Harland Westmoreland retired
in January after thirty five years
with the city. His cheerful
smile, work ethics and
innovative ideas will be sorely
missed, but we wish him a
wonderful retirement with his
family.
Volunteers are our Super
Heroes. Thank you!

Saving Water Saves You Money
In order to ensure we have enough
water for future generations and to
promote water conservation, the Euless
City Council approved a tiered water
rate that encourages efficient water use.
The more water you conserve, the lower
your rate.
Outside activities such as watering
lawns, filling pools and washing cars
can account for up to 60percent of
water use. Those who choose to
increase their water use, will pay for
additional water needed to keep up
with the demand.
Water is one of our most important
natural resources and we must protect
it. The tiered rate structure is designed
to protect our water resources now and
in the future.
The City of Euless Utility Billing
Office is committed to the privacy of its
customers. As such, the office has
enacted a privacy policy that is
designed for your protection. To view
the complete privacy policy, please visit
www.EulessTX.gov/water or call
817-685-1471.
