Recently, Waxahachie residents received a note on their water bill referring to the City Sidewalk Grant Program established in 2019.
The program was established to to assist residents with their sidewalk repairs.
According to the city website, In Fiscal Year 2019, the Waxahachie City Council designated $100,000 for a City Sidewalk Grant Program that can be updated annually, if funds allow. This program is administered by the Public Works & Engineering department, and is designed to provide residents of the city a resource to maintain, repair, or install sidewalks in front of their residence or business.
This notice was just a courtesy reminder from the city to let residents know that the program is available, according to Amy Borders, director of communications and marketing. There is space every month that we can put information or tidbits on the water bill. We just decided to put that on last month’s to let people know the program is available

A Waxahachie Police Department officer was commended for his life-saving actions during a major vehicular incident earlier this month.
Officer Austin Rollins received a standing ovation at the Jan. 19 Waxahachie City Council meeting after Fire Chief Ricky Boyd presented the letter of commendation to Rollins.
“While we expect our policemen and firemen to help out those in need, we felt like his actions that day were especially significant,” Boyd said. “He didn’t have fire gear on, a hose line or anything like that to protect him. He thought only of the victim, first and foremost.”
On the afternoon of Jan. 9, police and fire units responded to a major accident on North U.S. Highway 77 in Waxahachie.
