Upcoming Freezing Temperatures

Please be aware as the temperatures drop, there may be a risk of pipes bursting. To help prevent this, leave faucets dripping and cabinet doors open along with your heater set at least 65 degrees. The 2 stories with the outside laundry room, take extra precaution as those pipes are more likely to burst and remember there is no after hour emergency phone. If this happens, please call a plumber for repair as this is not the HOA’s responsibility. We hope everyone has a safe and warm weekend.

 

Thank You!

Vandalism At The HOA Office

Hello Homeowners,

I am reporting to you that we have a child or teenage breaking OUT our front office windows. The first time I reported to the police on December 26, 2025 and one of the officers found a marble on the ground and stated that someone received a sling shot for Christmas. The HOA office has double paned windows so we proceeded to get a quote for replacement for the outside window. We were within a day of paying the window company so they could order it which was $1,310.91. Thursday, January 15, 2026, I was opening the office when I saw another window shattered with another marble. That would cost the HOMEOWNER’S close to $2, 620.00 to replace and then that does not stop them from continuing causing damage. Because of the amount of damage according to Texas Penal Code Section 28.03 any damage over $2,500 is considered a felony and punishable by 180 days to two years in a state jail facility and/or a fine of up to $10,000.00.  We will prosecute to the max. If you know of anyone in your area playing with a sling shot, please report this to the office so that the police can investigate. Because of this, we are now in the process of framing in the entire office with siding. This will cost around $2,000.00 and will stop any future window damage. Otherwise we will be wasting money with constant repairs to the glass. This is very upsetting to me as a homeowner because this money should have been applied to the water bill or to the IRS. Please notify police or the HOA if you see any suspicious activity.

 

Thank you!

WATER USAGE ADVISORY

As you are all aware, we have been working on the outstanding water bill trying to get it caught up. The water usage per meter is steadily increasing so we are asking that everyone be mindful of  water being used and/or being wasted on washing your vehicle, cleaning your driveway or any other unnecessary water usage. Our current water bill is $52,943.13. We are paying $60,000 a month towards past bills and late fees which is not even covering this current bill.   At this point, we will not be able to catch up any time soon. This is why we requested a Special Assessment to get ahead of the rising cost of water but the assessment did not pass. Please pay your dues on time so that the HOA can pay its bills on time which includes water, trash compactor, and any other services that the HOA provides for the homeowners. We have been warned by the City of Grand Prairie that the water usage needs to be reduced instead of  increasing. The HOA has been on a water payment plan for several years and we are not sure how long that will continue.  Our current past due amount as of today is $51,703.33. The total balance is $104,646.46 which is due January 6, 2026 and we will not have that amount by this date which will result in another 10% penalty. Even with this current 6% increase and if we did not pay any other bills, we could not pay the $104,646.46 to be caught up or current with the water bill. Please be mindful and realize how critical the situation is with our water. THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE.

 

Thank You!

Update on IRS and Water Bill

As of May 2025, we have paid down the IRS Lien from $56,919.67 down to $12,600.27. We were able to do this by the amount of houses that were sold during this time. We are now on a payment plan for 14 months at $970 a month to get this paid in full.

The water bill has gone up since 2023 to 2025 by an average of $12,000 per month making each bill over $42,000 per month. We are still behind on the water by about $60,000 and our payment plan with the City of Grand Prairie is to pay $30,000 bi-weekly until caught up. By the time we pay the second payment of $30,000, the new bill has arrived with late fees that are due.

We were notified by the City of Grand Prairie that if we fail to meet the $60,000 per month they will have no choice but to turn the water off completely to ALL townhomes. We ask that everyone be mindful of the amount of water they use and to pay your dues on time. By not paying your monthly dues on a timely basis, we are unable to meet our obligations which include current bi-weekly payroll taxes, IRS payment plan along with trash pick up, house repairs, plumbing and electricity or any of the bills for the HOA including insurance on the common area.          The water may be shut off by the City of Grand Prairie if the $60,000 per month is not met.

 

**Currently, we have an outstanding balance of HOA dues of people not paying totaling $41,835.83 and water cutoff notices have been sent.

 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter,

Grand Prairie Mountain Creek HOA, Inc.
