Disposable Wipes are Not Disposable Disposable wipes, the ones that come in the plastic containers as well as baby wipes and facial wipes are not meant to be flushed down the toilet. Unfortunately, many people are doing it because the Trinity River Authority is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars removing them. Let's spend our money on better things than fishing disposable wipes out of the sewer. Remember, your toilet isn't a trash can. For a list of items you should not send into our sewer system, visit www.defendyourdrainsnorthtexas.com. * COMMUNITY NEWS 817-685-1400 www.eulessix.gov August Aquatics Euless Family Life Center / 300 W.

We don't need no stinkin' permits! Well, that's not entirely true. We require permits for certain things to help protect you and your home. Unfortunately, many problems caused can easily be prevented with a simple inspection. Our inspectors are trained to look for potential problems that you may not know to look for. Plus, insurance companies will usually not pay damages for non -permitted work. They are calling to make sure permits are pulled for work performed and properly inspected. For example, if you have electrical work performed by a non - licensed electrician and it causes a fire, insurance companies will usually not pay for repairs to your home. Some common types of projects which require permits are: • Remodeling involving demolition, construction, moving walls or modifying structural elements, room additions • Lawn sprinkler systems • Electrical upgrades or additions • Accessory buildings or storage sheds which are 120 square feet or greater • New fencing or alteration of existing fencing other than simple replacement of existing panels • Carports • Furnace installation or replacement • Air conditioner condenser installation or replacement • Water heater installation or replacement • Repair of gas leaks The benefits of a permit: We obtain a driver's license for the contractor. • We verify their credentials to ensure they are licensed. • We ensure the work performed is according to code and is safe. • We inspect and hold them accountable if work is not performed correctly. We have your back. But, if we don't know about it we can't help you. Call 817-685-1630 or email: permits@eulesstx.gov or visit www.eulesstx.gov/planning/permits.htm for more information. * COMMUNITY NEWS 817-685-1400 www.eulessix.gov ECPAAA BBQ Dinner & Auction Tickets Available Get your tickets for the Euless Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (ECPAAA) BBQ Dinner and Auction benefitting the Euless Police Department.
