Dear Citizens,
School has
started, but
there are still
plenty of
ways to have
fun during
September.
The latest artist to perform at
our Season of Sounds Concert
series will be Colt and the Old
45s at the Leon Hogg
Amphitheater. The concerts are
always great fun and this group
will be sure to get you on your
feet. If music isn't your cup of
tea, the ECPAAA fundraiser will
be held the following night.
This is always a great place to
see neighbors and mingle with
a few of our Police Officer's.
We'd love to see you there.
Don't forget about the Trinity
GAP Club Pet Fair at the end of
the month. It's not only a great
place to get some low-cost
vaccinations, there will be lots
of other services available for
your pet. Don't have a pet? I
have a sneaking suspicion you
can adopt one or two there!
Did you know...?
City offices will be closed Monday,
September 4, in observance of Labor Day.
Trash and recycling services will not be
affected.

Mandatory Language for Monitoring/
Reporting Violation
Failure to Submit a Disinfectant Level Quarterly
Operating Report (DLQOR) MONITORING,
ROUTINE (DBP), MAJOR/CHLORINE
The CITY OF EULESS water system PWS ID 2200031
has violated the monitoring and reporting
requirements set by Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in Title 30, Texas
Administrative Code (30 TAC), Section 290,
Subchapter F. Public water systems are required to
properly disinfect water before distribution, maintain
acceptable disinfection residuals within the
distribution system, monitor the disinfection residual
at various locations throughout the distribution
system, and report the results of that monitoring to
the TCEQ on a quarterly basis.
Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of
whether or not your drinking water is safe from
microbial contamination.
This violation occurred in the monitoring period:
First quarter of 2017.
We are taking the following actions to address this
issue:
The City of Euless performs daily monitoring of the
chlorine residual in our water distribution system as
required. All daily residuals for the first quarter of
2017 were performed and logged but we failed to
submit the required Disinfectant Level Quarterly
Monitoring Report (DLQOR) for the first quarter of
2017 to TCEQ on time, thus resulting in this
violation. We will closely monitor this issue to
prevent any future reoccurrence by sending the
DLQOR reports in a timely manner as required by
TCEQ.
Please share this information with all people who
drink this water, especially those who may not have
received this notice directly (i.e., people in
apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).
You can do this by posting this notice in a public
place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, you
may contact Hal Cranor, Director of Public Works at
(817) 685-1646.
September 11 Observance
September 11, 9 a.m.
9/11 Memorial, 201 N. Ector
Please join us for a ceremony to remember
the lives of the heroes who were lost during
the attack on our nation. The City of Euless
is the proud owner of an artifact from the
World Trade Center. The artifact is a 12-foot
long, 6,000-pound steel beam from the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This
memorial is displayed in front of the Euless
Fire Administration Building as a memorial
to the thousands killed that tragic day.
A Message to
Euless Residents:
In accordance with the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) rules, the
City of Euless is providing this notice to our
residents. There are state mandated reporting
requirements that require the City of Euless
to send water quality test results to TCEQ
quarterly. The City of Euless did not deliver a
required report by the due date and therefore,
must provide the following notice to all water
customers. City supplied water is tested at
least 60 times per month for quality and
safety. All required testing was performed and
the water met state or federal guidelines at all
times during this period.

Centennial Commemoration
Remembering the Events of WWI, 100 Years Ago
During the centennial of the Great War (1914-1918), the
National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas
City, Missouri will host a series of special exhibitions, pro-
grams, and events to commemorate the first global war in
history.
On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany and officially entered World War I. Six
weeks later, on May 18, 1917, the Selective Service Act was passed, which authorized the president to in-
crease the military establishment of the United States. As a result, every male living within the United
States between the ages of eighteen and forty-five was required to register for the draft.
The Euless Historical Preservation Committee would like to commemorate our local history of this time
period with special exhibits of pictures, stories, newspaper articles, etc. about Euless and surrounding
cities residents and families.
Did you have a family member that served during the War, or perhaps farmed to provide provisions, or
worked in the factories, or mailed memorabilia to the soldiers, or provided any kind of assistance for
the War effort? Was your ancestor one of these men that were required to register?
To help recreate our local WWI history, we would like to have copies of these draft registrations avail-
able for display. In order to get these copies, we need the names of your ancestors who were or might
have been drafted. The draft registrations and other memorabilia, like photos, etc. can be displayed and
maintained at the Euless Heritage Park Museum as part of our local history.
Please let us know by posting these names on the Euless Historical Preservation Committee Facebook
page and we will attempt to locate their draft registration. You may also contact Mary with the City of
Euless at ofaiva-siale@eulesstx.gov / 817-685-1649.
Living with Wildlife
Euless has experienced considerable growth in recent years, much like many other communities in
North Texas. There are some obvious effects of growth, such as the increased demand for water, sewer,
streets, schools, and roads. There are other, more subtle effects from growth that also impact demand
for City service. One of these is the demand on Animal Control.
Until recent years, much of Euless was large, wooded, vacant tracts of land. These areas were heavily
populated with coyotes, fox, bobcats and snakes, along with other variety of small game animals and
varmints. These animals were able to live relatively undisturbed and were only occasionally seen by res-
idents on the fringe of the woods.
As development began to encroach upon these native areas, the animal's territory was increasingly re-
duced. Of course, a natural result of that encroachment has been an increase in sightings of the animals
by humans in developed areas.
Texas Star Golf Course is a good example of beautiful development in previously rough, wooded terrain.
It is also an example of wildlife living in harmony with development. During daylight hours, the native

Texas Star "residents" are rarely seen. However, at dusk and dawn these residents make their appear-
ance. A family of bobcats can often be seen on a fairway. Coyotes are commonly seen and heard. In spite
of the animal's presence, Texas Star General Manager Glenda Hartsell-Shelton reports that there have
been no reported conflicts between patrons and animals.
Residential development has also resulted in new homes and apartments in close proximity to animals
native habitat. Animal Control Supervisor Larry Atkinson states that calls to Animal Control regarding
reported sightings of coyotes, bobcats and raccoons have increased in recent years. Efforts to trap these
animals have not been productive. Mr. Atkinson says that Animal Control Officers have never been
able to trap a coyote. However, he also states that there have been no reports of bites or attacks from
any wild animals. Animal Control Officers state that the animal's natural avoidance of humans plays
a large part in this.
Euless Animal Control Officers recommend that residents not approach wild animals. Try to avoid
leaving pet food outside at night. If an animal is observed acting unusually, please contact Animal
Control at 817-685-1594. These animals are an interesting and beautiful part of our Texas Heritage.
Enjoy them as you see them. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.
