Message from the Mayor


It looks like the Dog Days of August are behind us now and just 22 days left of what has probably been the strangest, most difficult and unexpected summer we could imagine. No camps, no programs at the community center and no events at our library. It has certainly been disappointing knowing that so many have missed out on so much. But, things are looking up hopefully we will be back on track soon.

Be alert! Schools are back in session now. Keller ISD is offering both in person and virtual classes with Birdville ISD choosing to start their year with virtual only. Remember, our kids get "out of school" whether it's in person or virtual so please be mindful anytime you are in or near a school zone. Most school zone related accidents are a result of "distracted driving". The phone call or text message can wait.

As if Covid-19 isn't enough to deal with right now, fall also brings us mosquitoes and West Nile. The city partners with Tarrant County and traps and tests mosquitoes for West Nile and Zika viruses. We also proactively release mosquito fish and place mosquito dunks in contained water areas.  But we need your help also. Check your yard on a regular basis for standing water.

Lastly, September 7th is Labor Day, also known as the "unofficial end of summer". It is a Federal Holiday to honor and recognize the American labor movement and its works and contributions to the development and achievements of the United States. However you might celebrate this holiday in these challenging times, please remember those that cannot be with their families and loved ones. Let's continue making Watauga a Great Place to Live.

Backyard Chickens 101 Online Training


On May 13, 2019, Watauga City Council passed an Ordinance allowing Watauga residents to house between 1 and 6 Backyard Chickens on their property.
 
Per City Ordinance, it is required of residents to attend a Backyard Chickens 101 instructional class, before submitting a Backyard Chickens Permit Application to Animal Services. Currently, this class cannot be taught due to COVID-19 restrictions.
 
Animal Services has created this online instructional training in place of the in-person class allowing residents the ability to comply with City Ordinance and obtain their Backyard Chickens Permit without further delay.
