ABOVE GROUND WATER STORAGE TANK
As you enter Anahuac at the 4-way stop directly across from Allegiance bank, you will see a newly constructed above ground water tank provided by the City of Anahuac to the right. AMDD began a project in 2019 to approach the public for ideas and images for a mural to be placed on the tank. After numerous submissions, local artist Toby Haynes submitted the winning depiction of the second Anahuac Disturbance in 1835 when William Travis commandeered a schooner from Harrisburg to attack Fort Anahuac and free the wrongfully imprisoned Texans.
Travis and 25 men took on a strength of 40 plus soldiers and were victorious in accomplishing their objective. This situation was a small but crucial point for Texas and helped solidify the local Texans in the area to join the fight for Texas independence.
Toby Haynes served as the project manager of this endeavor, playing a pivotal role in coordinating with the supplier, Spectrum Graphic Designs, to ensure all areas of design are met. The mural is now in place to be viewed and enjoyed by our citizens and visitors.

Boat Ramp dedicated in Memory of Bill Stults
Bill Stults was a dedicated AMDD Director from October 2015 until his death in January 2021. He was instrumental in the reconstruction of the City of Anahuac Boat Dock that had been out-of-use for more than 15 years. On December 27, 2022, the Chamber of Commerce conducted a dedication ceremony in his honor on the banks of Lake Anahuac overlooking the completed boat dock. There a permanent bronzed plaque stands to always recognize his contribution and work while serving as a Director for AMDD.

Fort Anahuac Park SPLASH PAD is Complete
On January 18, 2022, AMDD began a discussion with Chambers County to partner in the construction of a splash pad to be located in Fort Anahuac Park. AMDD would provide $250,000 toward the $399,000 cost of the project, with the county providing the remaining funds needed as well as maintaining the project. The City of Anahuac would provide the water at a reduced price giving the project a green light.
The ribbon cutting for the new splash pad was held May 23, 2023, to officially mark the opening of the newly completed Fort Anahuac Splash Pad.
AMDD is so proud to have helped in this remarkable project that will benefit the children of our community for many years to come.
