Update on West Townhouse Lane

Sometime over the weekend, the City returned and packed in more dirt into the street and removed the barricades. The street is fully passable now  The Director of Public Works emailed me and said that they will be back out in the next few weeks to do a permanent repair of the street.

Here is what it looks like now:

West Townhouse

Below are photos if the repairs done on West Townhouse following the massive water leak on Monday.

This is the repair done sometime late Monday evening, after the City repaired the 6″ line:

This is the second repair made after they removed the asphalt from Monday:

As you can see from the minimal space to get past this repair,cars/trucks are having to drive over the grass to get through. Problem is, there is a fire hydrant right behind the fence, about a foot from the tire tracks. I have addressed this concern with the City and I am not sure how they will respond to it.

Until the street is properly repaired, the City may block off that section so residents will have to access that end of the street from W Mountain Cree Drive (the double drive). I will keep you advised once I hear more.

Water Leak

We have a water leak on West Townhouse Lane, in the middle of the street. It is a 6 inch line feeding the fire hydrants, so there is a lot of water coming out. The City has been notified and we are not sure when they will get this fixed.  Below are photos of the leak area, which looks like a river.

Sewer trucks on property

For the past week or so, we have had sewer pumper trucks cleaning out the main lines on both sides of the property. Usually, they are TRA (Trinity River Authority) trucks, but the last few trucks are from a company called AIMS. The one shown below is on East Mountain Creek Court and Warrior Trail. Not sure how long they will be working on the East side.

Wet Wipes

We still have residents flushing wet wipes, even though we have notified residents not to flush them in the Information Notices we put out several times a year. The City also does not like wipes being flushed because it plugs up the filters at the treatment plant.

We have had several sewer blockages this month caused by people flushing wet wipes and we will bill you for removing them, especially after asking residents not to flush them.

Homeowners Insurance

It is that time again, where homeowners need to submit the Declaration Page of your insurance renewal for 2020. This is required by the Declaration (CC&R), section 5.2, which requires “cost-to-replace” insurance on your property.

Owners and/or your insurance agent can email or fax these to the Office. Email address is office@gpmcha.org, and our fax number is 972-692-7714
