Topics getting the most attention in Del Rio public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
San Felipe Creek Arundo Cane Control and Riparian Restoration
The Devil's River Conservancy is partnering with the city and state agencies to reinvigorate the Arundo cane removal project along San Felipe Creek to conserve water and improve riparian health.
Flood Mitigation and Drainage
Del Rio just landed a $17 million state loan to upgrade our water system, ensuring we have enough supply to support both local residents and Laughlin Air Force Base. It’s a major move to keep the taps running as the city continues to grow.
Drought Management
Del Rio is bone-dry after a record-low rainfall year, so expect tighter rules on how you use water at home. It’s time to cut back on lawn watering and outdoor use before the city forces our hand.
