VAN ALSTYNE WATER UTILITIES
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY WATER CONSERVATION
MARCH 6-8, 2023

The Van Alstyne water supply is provided by City owned water wells and through a connection to the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) water supply system. On March 6-8, 2023, supply from the NTMWD will be interrupted for portions of these days due to construction activities on their pipelines. The City of Van Alstyne water system will continue receiving water from our wells during this time. Van Alstyne water customers are asked to voluntarily conserve water use during the 3 days referenced. Primarily, customers are requested to suspend large outdoor water use such as lawn irrigation or filling swimming pools. No interruption of service to Van Alstyne water customers is planned or anticipated.

YOUR COOPERATION WITH THIS SHORT-TERM REQUEST IS APPRECIATED

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has advised that crews will be performing some base repair work on the frontage road near the north bound Van Alstyne Pkwy (FM 121) exit ramp starting February 27th. Repairs are expected to be complete on or before March 3rd.  The ramp will only be closed during the contractor’s working hours, between 8:00am and 5:00pm.  Because the work is near the exit ramp, it is not safe to perform the work with the exit ramp open to traffic.  TxDOT asks travelers to take the County Line Road exit and continue on the frontage road to Van Alstyne Pkwy (FM 121).

Message boards have been placed at high-volume traffic areas to alert travelers of the closure.
