399K Gallons of Wastewater Released Into Rowlett Creek.

Heavy rains forced an estimated 399,000 gallons of partially treated domestic wastewater to overflow into Rowlett Creek over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, according to a North Texas Municipal Water District spokesperson.

The overflow at the Rowlett Creek Regional Wastewater plant came to a stop at about midnight Sunday morning.

Do you want this to happen in your neighborhood of Willow Park?   It could happen!

No one can control the weather and when this happens and the reservoir overflows…just like it is now this wastewater would flow through neighborhoods, some private residential property’s that have Squaw Creek going through their property and then into the Clear Fork River.

Do we really want to take this chance and have a wastewater treatment plant in our neighborhood?
