CreekStorm Drainage Utility

On February 24, 2009, City Council held public hearings to begin creation of a new utility for Storm Drainage. This process began in 1995 and was the result of un-funded federal mandates. The new utility results in a new item on Hurst utility bills: Storm Drainage Fee. The rate for residents is $4 per home water meter. This is equivalent to $1.93 per apartment unit and $1.19 per 1000 impervious square feet for commercial properties. This new utility will help pay for water quality testing in streams, additional maintenance of waterways, more storm drainage construction projects, more erosion control projects and computer software for tracking more detailed permits and work order management. Read more on the Storm Drainage Utility here.

 

Conference CenterTransforming Hurst: A Vision for the Future

The City of Hurst is transforming in a big way. With vacant land as a rare commodity, Hurst got creative in coming up with innovative ways to continue to develop and redevelop the City. In an effort to keep Hurst on the forefront of development in the area and provide a stable tax base for the future, the progressive Hurst City Council and staff identified three corridors of the city as areas with the potential to redevelop structured business retail and residential growth: West Pipeline Road, Hurst Town Center and the Bellaire Shopping Center. Continuing to build on tradition and planning for the future are what will keep the City of Hurst an area leader in development. Visit the Transforming Hurst Website to see and learn more.
The Hurst Conference Center is coming soon! For information on rates, amenities and menu options click here.
