If you’ve noticed the cloudy, muddy water flowing behind Benbrook Stables lately, you’re not imagining things.
After the recent heavy rains and flash floods, runoff is carrying extra dirt and debris into the waterways, stirring up the water and making it look more like a muddy creek than a calm pond. This kind of murkiness is typical in Texas after storms, especially near construction sites where soil gets disturbed.
While the water may not look clear for a few days, it’s best to avoid drinking it or fishing until the situation settles. If you’re concerned, you can reach out to the City of Benbrook’s non-emergency line to report it.
For now, remember it’s nature’s way of cleaning up after the rain.
