Plumbing / Sewer Repair

Dear Homeowners and Residents,

For the past six months, we have been experiencing ongoing issues with the sewer main on West Mountain Lane, which has caused sewer backups affecting at least eight homes. During this time, the HOA carefully evaluated the costs, manpower, equipment, and supplies that would be required for our maintenance team to complete the repair.

After a lengthy review, the HOA has decided to move forward with repairs through ARS/Rescue Rooter. The total cost of the project is $15,155.00, which includes excavation, repair work, and restoration, along with a one-year warranty.

To prepare for this expense, the HOA has been setting aside funds over the past six months from home sales and any additional savings available. ARS has already begun the repair work, and we are hopeful the project will be completed by early June 2026.

In addition, we are currently dealing with a similar issue in another common area on West Mountain Lane and are awaiting a repair quote for that project. Depending on the cost, it may take the HOA some time to save the necessary funds before that repair can begin.

We appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and continued support as we work to address these important infrastructure issues for the community.

Thank you,


Grand Prairie Mountain Creek HOA, Inc.

HOA Monthly Expenses

Dear Homeowners and Residents,

This is an update regarding the community water bill. The most recent bill increased by approximately $8,000.00 compared to the previous month. In addition, the HOA is still carrying an outstanding past-due water balance of approximately $29,000.00 that continues to roll into each new billing cycle.

We are asking all residents to please help conserve water whenever possible. Please avoid unnecessary water usage such as washing vehicles or allowing children to play with running water.

As a reminder, the HOA uses monthly dues to cover many important community expenses, including:

  • Water service – $60,000.00 / past due and portion of new bill
  • Trash compactor expenses – $4,640.00
  • Repairs and maintenance to homes and common areas – $100.00
  • Insurance and including workers comp – $1,942.14 
  • Payroll – $17,762.00
  • Payroll taxes – $2,900.00
  • Past due payroll taxes – $970.00
  • Fuel and maintenance for lawn equip. and the work truck – $456.00
  • Plumbing equipment and repairs – $225.00
  • Electric, alarm system and office expenses average – $1,784.00
  • Anticipated maintenance expense average $800.00

     

As you know, the HOA is a non-profit organization and depends on homeowners’ dues being paid on time in order to meet the financial obligations required to operate and maintain the community.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding as we work together to reduce expenses and maintain the property for all residents.

Thank you,

CLOSED TUESDAY’S

Hello Residents/Homeowners,

We would like to inform everyone that the office will NOW be closed one day each week to allow staff uninterrupted time to complete important work duties and administrative tasks.

Frequent interruptions throughout the day have delayed projects and prevented deadlines from being met. Beginning immediately, the office will be closed all day on Tuesday’s. Although staff will still be working during this time, we will not be answering phone calls except in the case of emergencies. Please leave a voicemail, and we will return your call as soon as possible.
This dedicated workday will help us complete pending tasks, update records, and better serve our community overall.

Please place all payments in the drop box during office closure hours.
We respectfully ask that residents do not repeatedly call or knock on the office door expecting a response while the office is closed.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Grand Prairie Mountain Creek HOA, Inc.

 

 

Trash Pickup Delayed

Dear Residents/Homeowners,

Trash pickup is currently delayed due to a failure in the power supply to the compactor. We are waiting for “Compactor Rentals” to send a technician to complete the repairs. At this time, they have advised us that repairs may not be completed until tomorrow.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and cooperation while this issue is being resolved.

Thank you,
Management

Keep Wipes Out Of City Wastewater System

Article from Grand Prairie Wastewater Department

Do you use wet wipes that claim they are flushable? These wipes are actually not flushable and can cause harm to plumbing and wastewater systems because they do not disintegrate  after flushing. Instead, they wrap around other flushed wipes and debris, damage pumps at the wastewater plant, and have to be removed from wastewater screens and lift stations.

Wipes also create clogs in main wastewater lines and customer lines that have to be manually removed because fats, oil and grease deposit on them.

Toilet paper disintegrates almost immediately, but the strong-fiber wipes cause havoc in city wastewater lines and at wastewater plants.

When using flushable wipes, please throw them into the trash, and do not flush them down the toilet. This keeps the wastewater lines clear and helps avoid costly clog removal at your home and the wastewater plant.

 

HOA Dues Reminder

Dear Homeowner/Resident,

We are currently experiencing a shortage of funds and kindly ask that you please make your HOA dues payment as soon as possible.

Your timely payment is important to help maintain the community and cover ongoing expenses.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I would like to thank everyone for your participation in the annual meeting on March 26th. We had a great turnout, and it was wonderful to see so many new candidates involved.

Two new members were voted in, and I believe we have a strong team in place for the upcoming term. I also appreciate your vote of confidence in re-electing me to the board. I’m excited about the year ahead and what we will accomplish together for our community.

Thank you again for your continued support.
