ATTN: Prairie Grove Utilities Customers
Local temperatures dipped into the low teens overnight last night. As a result, some customers plumbing froze and have now thawed out. As part of that process, it is highly likely that plumbing has burst.
We are seeing high water demands at the water treatment plant, presumably from broken customer-side plumbing. We encourage you to please inspect your plumbing for water leaks.
Thank you so much for your cooperation and if you need additional assistance, please contact us.

The Sunset Advisory Commission has been reviewing the mission and performance of the Angelina & Neches River Authority of Texas (ANRA) and welcomes public comments on ideas to improve its operations and services. The Texas Sunset Act requires the Sunset Commission to periodically review ANRA and recommend whether to change state law to improve the authority’s efficiency and effectiveness. The Legislature ultimately will decide whether to adopt Sunset’s statutory recommendations. The Sunset Commission also may adopt management directives for ANRA that do not require statutory change.
The Sunset process has three stages. First, Sunset staff will evaluate ANRA, seek public input, and issue a report recommending solutions to problems found. Second, the Sunset Commission will hold two public meetings: a hearing on the staff report and the authority, and a decision meeting to adopt recommendations to the Legislature based on the report and public comments. Third, the Legislature will convene in January 2025 and will consider Sunset’s statutory recommendations in a Sunset bill for ANRA.
The Sunset Staff Report may be viewed or downloaded below, but if a member of the public would like to make public comment in response to the Sunset Staff Report, please visit https://www.sunset.texas.gov/reviews-and-reports/agencies/angelina-and-neches-river-authority.

The Angelina & Neches River Authority has issued a Notice to Proceed for a construction project for its North Angelina County Regional Wastewater Facility.
Project Name: Regionalization of the Angelina County Fresh Water Supply District No. 1 (District) Wastewater Treatment Facility
Community Served: Rivercrest and Duncan Slough communities
State Agency Administration: Texas Water Development Board
Project Funding: Project was wholly or partially funded with State Revolving Funds funding through the EPA
Project Description: The project consists of decommissioning the existing Angelina County Fresh Water Supply District No.1 WWTF, installation of lift stations with associated line work to transfer flow to the ANRA’s North Angelina County Regional Wastewater Facility (NACRWF), and improvements to the chlorination and disinfection system at NACRWF as an additive bid option.
Water Quality Benefits: Regionalization of the project will take the District’s wastewater treatment plant offline and reroute that flow stream to a modern regional wastewater treatment facility. The wastewater treatment plant being offline and decommissioned is located approximately 300 yards from the Angelina River.
