IMG_3128 copy

In your mailbox today is notice by RCH (on pink paper) prohibiting all automatic sprinkler watering.  According to RCH representatives, those who violate this prohibition can expect to have a “water restrictor” placed on their main line. Representatives also stated that, no pumps are out, the issue of low water pressure is entirely due to the overuse of lawn watering (several homes are watering as much as 300 thousand gallons over a 3 to 4 day period). The prohibition will be a temporary one, but how temporary they could not say. The RCH water board will also convene, where they

Recount

A Recount of Votes Policy was adopted during Tuesday’s regular Board meeting to help ensure that the Association will not be responsible for the costs associated with such a request.  The policy mirrors Texas Property Code Section 209.0057(b), which requires any party making the request to pay all costs associated with a recount unless the recount changes the results of a vote, wherein the Association would then be responsible to reimburse the requesting party/parties. This comes on the heels of a frivolous open-records request by a homeowner who was demanding that the Association (fellow homeowners) foot the bill for the time

During last November’s Board meeting, David, who has teamed up with fellow member of the Archectural Review Committee (ARC)  David Fuller to apply “cold patch” to the cracks at the entrance of our neighborhood, moved to approach the landowner for permission to paint the side
