Hurst council adopts watering restrictions ordinance to align with Fort Worth wholesale contract
Summary
Council approved first-and-final reading of ordinance 26-23 to enforce irrigation and water-conservation restrictions required under the city's wholesale contract with Fort Worth; public works will notify code enforcement for violation follow-up.
The Hurst City Council unanimously approved the first-and-final reading of ordinance 26-23, which updates Chapter 26 provisions to enforce irrigation and water-conservation restrictions consistent with the city's wholesale water contract with Fort Worth. Robert Saceda, the city's public works director, told council the change clarifies enforcement steps and gives public works authority to notify code when violations are observed.
Saceda said enforcement will proceed through standard complaint channels—including neighbor reports, HOA complaints and routine public-works observations—after which code enforcement would issue citations if violations persist. Council members asked for clarification about who investigates and whether public complaints or in-field observations would initiate follow-up; Saceda said both routes would be used.
