Can You Imagine A Day Without Water?

Imagine A Day Without Water is coming up on September 15th! This national campaign aims to educate people on the value of water and importance of water infrastructure. The City of Southlake wanted to showcase how valuable water is to us, so staff from multiple departments have shared how water is critical to our jobs here. The first department to share their story is the Southlake Fire Department. After you read their story below, tell us your own! How do you value water?

Ask the Expert: Planting Trees

Many people assume that the fall is not a very good time of year to plant trees because trees start to lose their leaves and go dormant for the winter. But, actually fall is the very best time of year to plant trees and other shrubs! Since Texas has generally mild winter temperatures, tree roots tend to grow year-round and planting trees in the fall gives them a head start in becoming established and prepares them for a new year of growth in the spring. The established root system also helps a newly planted tree cope with the stresses of heat and drought in the summer. So if you are considering planting a new tree in your yard next spring, plant it this fall instead.
