WINTER WEATHER UPDATE 1/27/2026 - 9 am
ROAD CONDITIONS
There is a significant amount of ice on roads and parking lots this morning. Anyone who must travel is encouraged to use extreme caution and drive slowly. While rising temperatures will melt much of the ice this afternoon, any water that is left will refreeze overnight.
Our Public Works department staff will continue to monitor and treat intersections as needed, and will also work to clear storm drains so that as the water melts, the roads can dry faster.

TRASH AND RECYCLING SERVICE DELAYED
You may have received your weekly electronic collection alert. However, due to winter weather conditions, residential trash and recycling services will be delayed.
If your normal collection day is Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, place your cart out for service on Wednesday. Thursday carts should be at the collection point as usual.

EARLY VOTING UPDATE
All polling locations for the January 31, 2026 Special Election are closed today. Polls will be open for Election Day. Additional updates will be posted on the Collin County and Denton County Elections Department websites.
PROTECT YOUR PIPES
Temperatures remain freezing. Pipe bursts are one of the biggest risks during winter weather. Protect your home’s pipes! Steadily drip faucets and open cabinet doors to allow air to circulate. If you have a burst pipe, knowing how to shut off your water can help prevent major damage. Watch this video to learn how: https://youtu.be/d5lnwWiBfFg
