​​​​​if the sirens are blarin' -- you should be preparin'

​​​

​​​​do you know what this is?

​​​Green Arrow L.png

​​​​COPPELL'S OUTDOOR WARNING SYSTEM (OWS)​​​​​

​​When Do They Sound?​​​​​

The sirens are sounded when there is a dangerous situation occurring​ outside, and are intended to be a cue​ for residents to seek additional information. Sirens will be sounded given one or more of the following conditions:
  • The National Weather Service (NWS) issues a Tornado Warning for Dallas, Tarrant, or Denton County that may impact the City of Coppell; and/or,
  • Tornadic activity has been reported by a reliable source in or approaching the City of Coppell; or,
  • Severe Thunderstorms with destructive winds in excess of 7​0 mph are occurring or are about to occur within city limits; or,
  • Hail 1.25" (about the size of a ping-pong ball) in diameter or larger is occurring or is expected to occur within city limits; or,
  • A Hazardous Chemical Emergency has occurred and has the potential to affect the city; or,
  • Monthly testing; or,
  • Other emergencies, as deemed necessary by City of Coppell administration.
​The City of Coppell currently operates seventeen (17) sirens strategically placed throughout the city. 

​​​​How Do They Work?​

On any given day, during an emergency or for testing purposes, Coppell's OWS is activated by the Emergency Management Coordinator. He has the ability to activate all 17 sirens at once, or activate a select few sirens depending on the location of the emergency. 
  • ​Sirens are activated locally for the conditions outlaid above.​​
  • All activations of the siren emit a 3-minute steady tone (click icon to the right​ for example). 
  • If the threat persists, the steady tone may be reactivated for additional 3-minute increments as the threat continues.
  • In addition to the steady tone, the OWS can also function as a city-wide public address system, capable or relaying voice alerts and other tones.
  • There is NO "all clear" signal.

​​​​​What Should You Do When You Hear Them?​

  • When the Outdoor Warning System sirens activate, stay calm and immediately seek safe shelter inside.
  • Listen to the NOAA All Hazards Radio, or local television/radio stations for additional information and specific instructions.
  • Remain indoors until the emergency has ended.
  • Remember, the Outdoor Warning System is not intended nor designed to be heard in your home or other indoor locations. Always have more than one means of receiving emergency alerts!

​​​​​​​When Are They Tested?

  • ​Weather permitting, the City of Coppell audibly tests the OWS sirens on the first Wednesday of every month at 1:00 PM.
  • The City also silently tests the sirens twice daily within the activation software: this is to ensure that all sirens are always maintained in good working order.
  • Several other municipalities within the North Central Texas Council of Governments are also test their warning sirens at the same time, based upon agreed OWS activation guidelines.

Keep Coppell Beautiful is a citizen committee that organizes opportunities to preserve and beautify our community through waste reduction, litter prevention, beautification, and environmental stewardship. Take part in one of the dozens of programs, events or volunteer projects that take place throughout the year! For more information on getting involved with the committee, email kcb@coppelltx.gov.


Environmental Education Classes

KCB offers monthly classes and seminars on practical green living ideas. The classes tend to focus on growing food, composting, smart irrigation and planting colorful and ecofriendly landscapes. Most of the classes are held at the Biodiversity Education Center, although we occasionally partner with Coppell Community Garden and school gardens in the community to host hands-on demonstrations off-site. All classes are free to the public with no registration required. View c​urrent​​​​​ schedule of classes.​​​​

Wildflower Seeding

Each October community groups of all ages come together to spread wildflower seeds in designated areas of Coppell parks. Gather your friends, family, Scout troop and neighbors for a fun, free event. Reminisce on what Coppell looked like as a prairie and do the “buffalo stomp” with the herd of seeders. Details for the 2018 seeding will be announced during the summer. 


Clean Coppell

Take an active role in cleaning up Coppell streets, parks, and neighborhoods! Each April, community groups from all around town come together to do litter cleanups and beautification projects. In 2017, residents hosted dozens of litter clean-up, spruced up fences, pulled weeds,  and handed out plant starts. Getting involved is easy! If you have a project that will make our community cleaner and greener, fill out this request form​ to have the City of Coppell sponsor your supplies. Requests should be returned to kcb@coppelltx.gov.

Organize a litter cleanup - Choose a location where you notice a need and fill out a request for clean-up supplies.  We will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash pickers upon request. You can do this year-round, but t-shirts will be provided for groups that participate in the annual April event which contributes to a nationwide effort, the Great American Cleanup. Clean Coppell volunteers that that wear their t-shirts to Earthfest get a free treat!

Organize a beautification project – Be creative! If you have a project in mind and the people willing to do it, you can submit an application to have KCB sponsor the supplies. The project should benefit the community through preservation or beautification. Some ideas include:
  • Planting a monarch waystation to attract butterflies
  • Restoring shared gardens such as community or school gardens. 
  • Helping an elderly or disabled neighbor meet code requirements for their yard.
  • Graffiti removal

EcoCoppell Earthfest 

Earthfest is a celebration of Coppell’s commitment to the environment - an entertaining and educational experience!

​​​​​​​DART Cotton Belt Corridor Field Work: February 19-March 31​

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) staff and contractors responding to DART's solicitation for Cotton Belt design and  construction will be collecting data along the Cotton Belt corridor from February 19 to March 31. This is part of the necessary preparation for the project.

The majority of the data collection will be conducted in and along the railroad right of way. Any access of private property will be coordinated with the owner in advance of the work, and property owners may refuse to grant access. ​The types of field work being performed include:

  • Soil borings to collect information about soil conditions
  • Examination of surface features that indicate the presence of underground utilities
  • Cultural and Historic Resource Observations

Most of these activities will occur during daylight hours and will require heavy equipment for soil borings. Coppell residents may see equipment that is truck mounted or mounted on rubber track crawler carriers​.

About the Cotton Belt Corridor Project​

​​​​​​​​The DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project is a 26-mile line that will extend from DFW Airport to Shiloh Road in Plano and ​ traverse seven cities, including Coppell. The Cotton Belt Project’s primary purpose is to provide passenger rail connections and service that will improve mobility, accessibility and system linkages to major employment, population and activity centers in the northern part of the DART Service Area. The Cotton Belt Project would interface with three DART LRT lines: The Red Line in Richardson/Plano, the Green Line in Carrollton and the Orange Line at DFW Airport. Also at DFW Airport the project would connect to Fort Worth Transit Authority's TEX Rail Regional Rail Line to Fort Worth and the DFW Airport Skylink People Mover. 

The City of Coppell hosted two public meetings on March 1 and March 9, 2017 to provide an update on the planned DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project. For more information about the background and development of the project, watch the March 9, 2017 meeting or view the March 9, 2017 presentation

​The City of Coppell is doing what we can to influence DART to the best interest of the Coppell citizenry​. ​This includes the adoption of a resolution on June 13, 2017 by the Mayor and City Council stating: 

"The City of Coppell fully supports DART Board redesign and realignment of the Cotton Belt Rail line throughout Coppell from Luna Road westward to Freeport Parkway, which would incorporate a Southern reconfiguration to provide a station in the Northlake/Cypress Water Campus subject to grade separation, quiet zones, sound walls and trail by rail segments along the entire route through Coppell."  ​

Read the entire resolution​.

Residential Water Rates​

The City of Coppell utilizes a seasonal water rate structure to encourage conservation.  During the summer months, water is used primarily for lawn irrigation. This usage can account for up to 60% of summer water use. Experts predict that as the population continues to grow, the demand for and availability of water will begin to stress public water supplies and systems. Those who dramatically increase​ their water use during the months of June through October will help pay for the additional water needed to keep up with peak demand. The rates below are for 5/8 inch water meters; please contact Utility Billing if you have a larger sized meter.
