    Monsoon rains in Dallas overflow the city's sewers

    After the monsoon-like rain that has besieged Dallas for days, the city's sewers are saying uncle.

    Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) reports that the heavy rainfall has caused sanitary sewer overflows at several locations throughout the city. Three primary drainage basins exceeded 100,000 gallons.

    The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires the city of Dallas to notify the public and all appropriate government officials of any overflows that exceed 100,000 gallons in a single drainage basin.

    DWU sssistant director Zachary Peoples stresses that none of the overflows of diluted wastewater have affected the city's water supply.

    "The overflows were primarily caused by inflow and infiltration of storm water into the City of Dallas wastewater collection system," Peoples says in a release.

    DWU crews are monitoring and performing cleanup at each overflow location. The full list of the individual overflow locations within the affected drainage basins is below.

    Although there is no danger to the water supply, the public is reminded to avoid contact with waste material, soil, or water in any of the affected areas.

    If you come into contact with waste material, soil, or water potentially affected by the spills, bathe and wash your clothes thoroughly. If you use private drinking water supply wells located within half-mile of a spill site or within the potentially affected area, use water that has been distilled or boiled at a rolling boil for at least one minute for all personal uses including drinking, cooking, bathing, and tooth brushing.

    If you have a private water well, you should have your water tested and disinfected, if necessary, prior to discontinuing distillation or boiling.

    If you purchase water from a public water supply, contact your water supply distributor to determine if the water is safe for personal use.

    Dallas animal shelter invites residents to host a pet during holiday

    Dallas Animal Services (DAS) is inviting the community to help bring pets “Home for the Holidays” by adopting or fostering during one of the shelter’s busiest times of the year.

    DAS has achieved strong positive outcomes this quarter, including adoptions, foster-to-adopt placements, and underage foster placements, with 1,377 in October and 1,378 in November. The department is now working toward a December goal of 1,400 positive outcomes, with 588 completed so far this month.

    “We are grateful for the support our community continues to show,” said Victoria Chittam Bennett, Assistant Director. “Every adoption opens a kennel for another pet in need, and the holidays are an especially meaningful time to welcome a new companion.”

    This season, adopters will also have the chance to participate in the Friends of Dallas Animal Services (FODAS) 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways, fully funded and supported through donations from generous community supporters. For more information about this initiative, visit friendsofdas.org and watch out for announcements on social media.

    Holiday staycations
    Residents who may not be ready to adopt can still support DAS pets by participating in Silent Night Holiday Staycations, a short-term foster opportunity that gives dogs a relaxing break from the shelter during the holiday period.

    Pickup dates are scheduled for December 20-21, with drop-off options on December 27-28 or January 3-4. Participants typically spend 1-3 hours at the shelter selecting a foster match, and contact with pets outside the home should be limited. Questions may be directed to DASFtA@dallas.gov.

    “Holiday Staycations allow our dogs to decompress and show their personalities in a home environment,” said Amanda Earl, Assistant Director. “The insight we receive from these foster stays is invaluable in helping pets find permanent homes.”

    DAS encourages the community to adopt, foster, volunteer, or share adoptable pets to help meet December’s lifesaving goals.
    “Together, we can bring home the holidays for the pets relying on us,” said Director Paul Ramon.

    For more information on adoptable pets, holiday programs, or ways to get involved, visit https://bedallas90.org/ or stop by the DAS Shelter at 1818 N. Westmoreland Rd.
