Holiday Treats for our First Responders
In White Lake Hills we have a tradition of presenting holiday treats to the first responders who serve our neighborhood. It is time to begin preparing to do that again for 2024. For new residents or those who have not heard of this before, how it works is this:
1. Decide what you would like to contribute. We accept donations of home baked cookies, fresh fruits, nuts, and packaged foods. We also accept donations of holiday containers.
2. Bring your contributions to Linda Fulmer at 608 Green River Trail on Saturday, 14 December 2024 between 2 & 5 p.m.
3. The donations will be packed into festive containers on Sunday, 15 December 2024 at 10 a.m. at 608 Green River Trail. The containers will be divided across the three services, and volunteers will deliver them to the services.

Beautifully maintained lawn with cute seasonal decorations. This house is worth a walk by.
NEW WATER & SEWER LINES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Lake Havasu Trail & Blue Lake Drive: All of Lake Havasu Trail and part of Blue Lake Drive, from the cul de sac to Raintree Road, will undergo construction soon. New sewer and water lines will be installed, followed by repaving those streets. This will also affect some side yards between Blue Lake Drive and Green River Trail.
The Project Manager is Lawrence Hamilton. He can be contacted at 817-392-2626 or at Lawrence.Hamilton@FortWorthTexas.gov.
While the construction is ongoing, you may find it easier to use the south entrances to the neighborhood. It should all be wrapped up by Christmas 2024.
UPDATE: We have received additional information about cast iron sewer lines in our neighborhood that will need to be replaced. We don't currently have any timeline for the additional work. See the maps below.

Garden update at Smith Wilemon Park
The City of Fort Worth installed metal edging, plants and a water hookup for the garden around the Park sign.
The planting isn't yet finished but it already looks much better.
Jennifer Evalle is the Project Coordinator and Rick Allen of Metro Irrigation is helping with the watering system.
East 4th and East 1st Bike Lane Construction Project
