Top photo shows tributary entering Tanglewood Branch from the west just south of Center Street. Both streams normally flow clear but bring pollution from Dickson Street and other areas north and west of the Fayetteville square.
Lower photo shows Tanglewood Branch bridge on West Prairie Avenue. The sign points out that the branch flows to the White River (by way of Spout Spring Branch and the main Town Branch) to our drinking-water source, Beaver Lake. Although these branches all originate from perpetually flowing springs, all receive dirty runoff from storm drains in the streets. Drop something in front of the post office or drop something on the sidewalk outside the Arvest bank and this is where it goes. Drop something on the sidewalk along Lafayette Street between College and Ole Main and this is where it goes.
