City Council Meeting Canceled

The City Council meeting scheduled for October 8, 2024, has been canceled. The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be held on October 22, 2024.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) - Phase 1

The City of Hurst approved a contract with Ameresco to install an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system for the City. The first phase began in October and will run through February 2025. AMI meters consist of a water meter, a register and a low-powered communication device/radio that is integrated in a single unit. This upgrade allows customers the ability to review water usage through an internet-based customer portal.

The initial phase of this project is a city-wide survey of pipe material at water meters. During this initial phase, Ameresco and their subcontractor, Second Sight Systems, will open meter boxes to check service line material and then replace the lid. The process will not disrupt water service but usually requires digging around the water meter. Ameresco or Second Sight Systems employees will not enter your home at any time, they only need access to the water meter. For more information, visit us at hursttx.gov/AMI.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Public Works Dispatch at 817-788-7212.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

Registration for the Fall CERT Basic Training class is going on now through October 25 at 5 p.m. Only 10 spots per city are allowed, and they will fill up quickly!

The Hurst, Euless, and Bedford CERT teams will partner to host a CERT Basic Training Class in Bedford. The class will meet from Friday to Sunday, November 1 – 3, 2024.

The CERT program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.

It is taught by a trained team of first responders and experienced volunteers who have completed a CERT Train-the-Trainer course conducted by their state training office for emergency management, or FEMA's Emergency Management Institute (EMI). CERT training includes disaster preparedness, small fire suppression, basic medical procedures, and light search and rescue operations. This training is sponsored by FEMA and managed by the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
Seating is limited to 30 participants with 10 seats allocated to each CERT team. The first 10 people to respond will receive a seat in the class. Full participation is required to complete the course.
