The preservation and restoration of Village Creek could require assistance from some or all of
the following entities: City of Arlington, Army Corps of Engineers, Trinity River Authority (TRA),
Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and/or Texas
Water Development Board (TWDB). Flood control and water quality planning activity could
prove essential to the City's efforts to continue encouraging the closure of salvage yards
located within the Village Creek floodplain.
The partnership with Arlington Water Utilities (AWU) has expanded to include billing, customer
service, and water purchase. Five of the six planned water connection points have been
completed and approved by TCEQ. Kennedale is receiving the majority of its water from the
City of Arlington, however, a small amount of wholesale water continues to be purchased from
Fort Worth and mixed with the Arlington water on the west side of the City.
