RE: Follow up on Nutria Problem on MacArthur & Bethel School
Keith,
Last time this situation got bad, TXU did something to help the area
drain. But, we don't know what they did and do not specifically know the
locations of any dams. As I understand it, nutria can aggressively bite
and scratch if they feel cornered. Given their apparent density is this
area, we are a bit concerned about the safety of our surveyors. Any chance
of Animal Control being able to thin them out a bit?

Mike,
Margaret from our animal services department sent the below email. I'm on
my way out of town for a week, but if you want to meet with her and Mike
Garza next week you can. I think Tim Oates, or one of his code
enforcement personnel may want to join in on the meeting too. If you want
to set something up, just let Mike Garza know at 972-304-7019.

Keith,
After speaking with you yesterday about the potential Nutria problem over
on MacArthur Robert and I went over to take a look. The area that you
were speaking of behind the new town homes on Bethel School Ct. has always
been an undeveloped swampy area, to our recollection. We were unable to
identify any dams that might be causing water to pool at a greater rate
than normal. However, we are aware that Nutria inhabit that part of town
and the conditions in the area itself prevented us from just walking right
through. Is there any chance we could get one of your guys to show us
more specifically where the problem is occurring?
Also, nutria don't usually create their own dams but inhabit dams or dens

(dug into mud) of other animals. It is possible that we have a nutria
population over there but it is actually beavers that are causing the
water problems.
Please let us know if there is a good time to meet someone over there to
further evaluate any action we might take.
