A Message from Mary Kelleher

The Fort Worth Weekly 2nd Thought column was about the Trinity River this week. The column was written by Kendall McCook, titled Safety First.

A clarifying comment in response to the article from TRWD board director regarding Trinity River water testing.

Hi Kendall. My name is Mary Kelleher and I’m a director on the TRWD board. The TRWD used to only test the water in the Trinity River once a month but after I was elected I asked for more frequent testing, especially in the recreational areas. The water is now tested weekly and the results are posted online so people considering getting into the river can make an informed decision. Of course, the results are not in real time but what’s posted online give people an idea of recent conditions of the river.
