NOTICE TO CUSTOMER REGARDING EXTREME WEATHER EMERGENCY

The Public Utility Commission's rule in Title 16, Chapter 24 Texas Admin. Code § 24.173(d) prohibits your water and sewer provider from imposing a late fee or from disconnecting your retail water or sewer service for nonpayment of bills that are due during an extreme weather emergency until after the emergency is over.

An extreme weather emergency is defined as a period beginning when the previous day's highest temperature in your area did not exceed 28 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature is predicted to remain at or below that level for the next 24 hours according to the nearest National Weather Service reports for your area. For the purposes of these requirements, an extreme weather emergency is over on the second business day the temperature exceed 28 degrees Fahrenheit.

Your water and sewer provider is required to offer a payment schedule to an affected customer that timely requests a payment schedule. If you are affected by an extreme weather emergency, you may request a payment schedule for unpaid bills that are due during the extreme weather emergency.

For affected customers that timely request a payment schedule, your water and sewer provider is prohibited from disconnecting service for nonpayment of bills that are due during an extreme weather emergency. However, once a payment schedule is offered, disconnections may resume if you (1) decline to timely accept the payment schedule, or (2) violate the terms of the payment schedule.

If you have a bill from your water and sewer provider due during an extreme weather emergency, then you qualify to request a payment schedule. Please contact our office at 281-290-6500.

TEXAS PRIDE COLLECTION DELAY

Good Day Residents,

Below is an update received from Texas Pride at 6:25PM on 12/18/2022 regarding collection delay:

Due to last week's freeze and operational suspensions/delays that we implemented out of abundant precaution and safety for our team, we have been delayed on services and attempting to catch up. We were unfortunately unable to collect your area as scheduled today. As we work to get back on a regular collection schedule, we will be rolling your regularly scheduled Wednesday collection to Thursday. We apologize for any inconvenience but appreciate the understanding while our crews work diligently to catch up on service. We anticipate a normal collection schedule as we move forward.

Please do not respond to this email as it is unmonitored. Please send any request to service@texaspridedisposal.com, contact a representative at 281-342-8178, or visit our website at www.texaspridedisposal.com

Winter Damage and Replacement

Good day Residents!

As you may have noticed, the Association has worked diligently to remove the 2021 freeze damaged plant material and install new plant material throughout the community’s common areas. While this has taken more time than expected, the Association is working on the final stages of implementing the new landscape re-design.

During this time the Association has requested Inframark to put a hold on sending residents deed restriction violation letters requesting homeowners to remove and/or replace dead landscape on their property. However, this hold will be lifted shortly.

On the next inspection scheduled for mid-October the Association will begin sending letters requesting the removal and/or replacement of dead/missing landscape.

Please take this time to address landscape issues on your property. If you schedule work during this time and receive a letter, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the management company and advise that you have scheduled the work to be completed.

The Association would like to thank all residents for their patience as they worked through implementing the new landscape re-design.

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Landscape Watering

Many of you might have noticed that the common area landscape sprinklers are watering at odd times of the day. We have recently upgraded some landscaping and added some sod to our common areas. These new plantings require additional watering due to the high heat and dry weather we have been encountering. Because of these issues we are increasing our watering and in many cases watering twice a day to ensure that we do not lose these new plantings. We hope that this doesn't provide any inconvenience for anyone, thanks and have a great day.
