Due to the recent rainfall we will be mowing again this week.
We will mow the West side tomorrow and the East side on Wednesday.
Our office will be closed both Monday and Tuesday, July 3rd and 4th.
The Pool will be closed on Monday, like always, for chemical maintenance
Our maintenance crew will be in on Monday and we will pick up trash as usual.
All staff will be off on Tuesday, July 4th, and will be back to work as usual on Wednesday.
We have some residents who continually wash off their carports with the hose and let water run down the street and into the storm drains. We have others who let the hose run so their kids can lay in the water. At the end of the day, we all are paying for this since we all kick in part of our dues to pay for water. Our last water bill is almost $30,000, which is a bit excessive.
If you see someone wasting water, here are the numbers to report Water Restriction violations:
Report Water Restriction Violations During Regular Business Hours:
972-237-8296
Report Water Restriction Violations After Hours:
972-237-8400
We will be mowing the West side tomorrow, June 20 and the East side on Wednesday, June 21.
Just a reminder; we do not pick up loose trash out of trash cans. Everything must be in a tied and secured trash bag. Trash cans must have tight fitting lids.

Just so we all understand our water bills, I thought it would be a good idea to quantify them for you. We have 25 water meters around the property, and some areas use a lot more water than others. This may well be that there are more households on some meters than on others.
The past 3 water bills are as follows:
March 2017 – 2,139,000 gallons
April 2017 – 1,983,000 gallons
May 2017 – 2,542,000 gallons
Our current water bill is just under $30,000.00. Our water, based on our level of consumption, costs over $6.00 per thousand gallons. We also get billed for Waste Water, Storm Drainage, and for the multi-meters.
For those of you who have not lived here for a long time, there was a time when the HOA paid for the water themselves. I remember when the dues were less than $45-$55 a month when I moved here in 1983. But a few years later, the HOA had to make the water bill part of the dues, or face financial problems. That is when the dues went up to cover the water bill. Around 35% of the current dues go directly to paying the water bill alone.
Please conserve water whenever possible.
