Through a partnership between the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Texas Department of Transportation, the Don’t Mess with Texas Water program seeks to help prevent illegal dumping by placing road signs along major highway water crossings.
The signs have a toll-free number that people can call to report illegal dumping. TCEQ forwards these calls to the appropriate local enforcement agency that handles complaints of illegal dumping for a participating area.
Signs are already up in Harlingen, Texas, and the TCEQ is seeking more local governments to participate in the program.
For more information about the program or about participating, contact Devon Ryan, DMWTW coordinator, at 512-239-6596 or devon.ryan@tceq.texas.gov.
