Most cities ban fireworks use, but it's an activity people can enjoy in Talty. However, doing so in a manner which constitutes a public nuisance still violates various statutes.

Complaints most often involve using fireworks during late night/early morning hours when sound carries further and people are trying to sleep. Consequently, we encourage users to be considerate of young children, those who must work holidays or others whose situations require them to sleep at atypical hours.

The preference of most Talty residents is to not renew the past ban on fireworks use. Your safe, responsible and considerate use of fireworks will minimize complaints and the need for a ban.

Lone Wolf, as weather allows, to work based on recent direction from the city engineer.

In areas where Lone Wolf Construction has no asphalt or only one layer, expect installation of two layers upon verification of culvert placements. Our engineering firm has also been looking at drainage and is noting areas where ditch elevations need to be confirmed and adjusted. That process and rainy weather are the causes of the construction delay.

Some residents have called about their drives not being asphalt or concrete. Plans called for replacing as necessary; not upgrading.

TxDOT has been contacted about areas of standing water at the FM 1641 intersections. Those areas are withing their right-of-ways. We hope the will be able to work on them soon.

The Phase 1 project is complete. The construction company, Pavecon, will be under a two year maintenance bond should any issue arise. The plan is to then seal coat the roadway every 6-7 years to ensure at least 30 years of service to the community.

Please keep inappropriate vehicles and motor bikes off our roadways. We often receive calls about children on four wheelers, motor bikes, etc. causing near misses with vehicles. Several adult drivers and neighbors witnessing such incidents have expressed serious concerns about the potential for traumatic injuries and property damage.
