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.
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.
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.
There will be a 2″ water line repair on West Creek Lane tomorrow morning, and water to that area will be shut off at 10 AM.
Notices have been put out on properties impacted by this repair.
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
Terry will be coming back to work next week, but only 1/2 days until her doctor releases her for full time.
Starting Monday, January 6th, the Office hours will be Monday thru Friday from 8 AM to Noon until further notice.
While a homeowner was having some foundation/sewer work done, their workmen hit a 2″ water line, causing a large water leak.
We had to shut off the water to stop further water loss, water we all pay for. We do not have a time frame as yet on when they will fix the issue. We will keep you advised.
We have been having issues with residents, both owners and renters, parking vehicles in the Visitor Lots without the required Visitor Parking Permits displayed on the vehicle.
All visitor lots are clearly marked with signage that says:
In many cases, what people tend to concentrate on these signs is the “48 Hour Limit” part, thinking that phrase gives them 48 hours within which to park a resident vehicle in a visitor lot. That is not the case, however. It says that Visitors can park in the visitor lot for a period of time no longer than 48 hours.
The next part of the sign details the consequences for violating the top part of the sign, towing at your expense. In the past month or so,we have towed about 6 or 7 resident vehicles parked in the visitor lots. These signs and the verbiage upon them are not new; the signs and these rules have been here for about 40-45 years.
We do understand that sometimes it is necessary to utilize the visitor lot when getting work done on you property or if you have company over and they need to park closer to the house due to disabilities. We have notified folks in the Information notices we send out twice a year that if you need to park a vehicle in the visitor lot for a short period, you need to call the Office and let us know.
So, please keep this in mind and if you do need to park a vehicle in the visitor lot, call the Office. If the Office is closed, leave us a message or use the Contact Us button in the menu. I check that email address several times daily.
