Looks as though it might be a little longer now. Homes along Denton Creek in Coppell are in jeopardy from the creeks bank collapse.

The direction/flow of the creek runs right to left and these homes are right in the bend of the creek.



Here is the article...Back from Jan 12th.

Slope failure on Parker, resulting in back yards collapsing into the creek, leaving homes dangerously close to the edge.

This is what happens when developers are permitted is build on 8 feet of back filled dirt with no slope protection on the cut bank of a creek with irregular water levels due to multiple man-made factors.

Before these homes were built, consultants to the city had concerns and warned the city not to build until a detailed study of the creek was complete. That never happened and the city engineer recently told the council he'd make the same decision today made back then to approve this.

They're now considering a development along the creek at Sandy Lake. . . .
