North Texas Giving Tuesday Now, which took place May 5, 2020, was sponsored by the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation, alongside the Communities Foundation of Texas, United Way Metropolitan Dallas and the Dallas Cowboys. The event raised more than $448,000 for 115 Arlington-based organizations (2,219 gifts). The combined total raised for the entire North Texas region was $20.7 million for 2,572 organizations from 89,000 donations. "We’re so overwhelmed by the kind and generous spirit of this community,” said Carolyn Mentesana, executive director for the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation. “Time and again, we’ve seen our residents support our local nonprofits for our Arlington Gives! annual event, and to step up again during a time of need is truly inspiring and impactful to these groups helping people on the front lines.” To more fully engage local donors and actively promote the goal of raising critical support for Arlington’s charitable sector, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation and Friends of the Levitt Pavilion also programmed a full day of live streamed concerts by Brad Russell, September Moon, Steve Helms Band, Latin Express and Sara Hickman. More than 18,000 users tuned in to watch Tuesday. Since 2014, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has sponsored Arlington Gives! to recognize and highlight Arlington-based nonprofit organizations and help North Texas Giving Day contributors' dollars go even further. In all, 7,299 donations totaling $1,796,731 were donated to Arlington nonprofits in 2019.FalseTrueTrueTrueTrueNews, CommunityCoronavirus, Arlington Tomorrow FoundationRyan Hunt, Managing Editor, Office of Communication /news/my_arlington_t_x/news_archive/2020_archived_news/may_2020/448_000_raised_for_arlington_nonprofits2020/05/062020/05/06 10:55:00New East Library and Recreation Center Set to Open This Fall/UserFiles/Servers/Server_14481062/Image/News/Images/Articles_Champion-Great-Neighborhoods.jpgThe $26 million facility, approved by voters in the 2014 bond election, will open this fall at Bob Cooke Park.FalseTrueTrueTrueTrueNews, City CouncilChampion Great NeighborhoodsOffice of Communication/news/my_arlington_t_x/news_archive/2020_archived_news/may_2020/champion_great_neighborhoods_may_52020/05/052020/05/05 17:01:00Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams to Host Telephone Town Hall on COVID-19 May 7, 2020/UserFiles/Servers/Server_14481062/Image/News/Images/Articles_Tele_Town_Hall_Recording.jpgThose who are interested in participating in the virtual town hall meeting are asked to call 888-409-5380 at 6 p.m. to listen in for important information or to ask a question.FalseFalseFalseFalseFalseNews, City CouncilCoronavirus, Put Technology to WorkOffice of Communication/news/my_arlington_t_x/news_archive/2020_archived_news/may_2020/may_7_coronavirus_town_hall2020/05/052023/05/15 16:37:00DIY Air Dry Clay/UserFiles/Servers/Server_14481062/Image/News/2020/May/Articles_Parks_05-05-20_02.jpgStaying home 24/7 may have you running out of ways to keep the kids busy while having fun.

The newest edition of the Arlington Water Utilities Water Quality Report is now online at www.arlingtontx.gov/waterccr. The 2019 report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report, is required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. This year’s version includes details about the water department, including: • Arlington water met, and in many cases was much better than, federal and state standards for safety in 2019. • Arlington Water Utilities treated more than 18.6 billion gallons of water in 2019 at the John F. Kubala and Pierce-Burch Water Treatment Plants. • To maintain the highest safety standards, Water Utilities lab staff collected 7,010 samples and performed 16,177 tests in 2019. • Arlington has made significant improvements in the past few years limiting how much water is lost to main breaks and unauthorized consumption. The department’s water loss percentage dropped from 12.75 percent in 2014, to 10.19 percent in 2019. The decrease has resulted in significant cost savings in raw water, chemical, and electrical costs. • This year's report has a new, updated treatment process graphic, showing where Arlington’s water comes from and how it is made safe for residents. The Arlington Water Utilities laboratory staff are available to answer residents water quality questions throughout the year. Answers to some of the most common inquiries also are included the 2019 Water Quality Report. Reports from the previous five years are available online at the Knowledge Center section of the water department website (ArlingtonTX.gov/water). For printed copies of the report, contact the laboratory at 817-575-8984. A Spanish version of the 2019 report will be available soon at www.arlingtontx.gov/waterccre. During the week of May 3-9, utilities throughout the United States are celebrating Drinking Water Week. The American Water Works Association and its members have recognized the event for more than 40 years as an opportunity to communicate the vital role water plays in our daily lives.
