Garland officials have apologized for clearing portions of Spring Creek Forest Preserve without notifying stakeholders while accessing aging sewer infrastructure.
In a statement published on the city’s website, officials said, “The City of Garland would like to extend a sincere apology following the clearing activity at Spring Creek Forest Preserve. … While the clearing was intentional to access, inspect and maintain a 55-year-old key sewer trunk line, the City’s approach did not live up to its values of stewardship, transparency and collaboration.”
