Water is life and it’s on all of us to protect it. Check out this fun video from NTMWD about how communities across our region rely on clean water. That’s why we’re hosting our next Stormwater Speaker Series all about safe Household Hazardous Waste Disposal. Whether it’s leftover paint, motor oil, or strong cleaners, improper disposal can end up polluting the same water you and your neighbors depend on. Join us on October 24, 2025, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM at City Hall, 385 S Goliad St, to learn about what counts as hazardous household waste, how to use Rockwall’s curbside HHW pickup, tips to prevent illegal dumping and protect our waterways. Let’s keep our streams and lakes clean, starting right at your doorstep. See you there!

Big shoutout to our Downtown Manager, Bethany, who recently took part in a special opportunity with the Texas Downtown Association! In early May, Bethany joined a team of downtown professionals in Tyler, Texas, for a Downtown Assessment Visit, which consisted of a deep-dive into the city's downtown district, where the group met with local stakeholders, toured the area, and offered expert recommendations for both short-term wins and long-term revitalization goals. This collaborative effort supports communities across Texas in revitalizing their downtowns, a mission Bethany has passionately championed in Rockwall for two decades.💪 #TexasDowntown #downtownrockwall
