Summer is here! As Texas residents, most of us are aware of the drought conditions our state is experiencing. Even though we have had a lot of rainfall this spring it is still important to conserve water. As we approach the hottest months of the season, we ask that all residents review the water restrictions listed below for your community. The following links are to PDF files supplied by TWDA (Texas Water Development Board) and TCEQ on information for landscaping, irrigation, and water conservation tips:

Now that the winter season is over, we ask that all residents check their irrigation systems (sprinkler heads/out door faucets, etc) for leaks. If you think you may have a leak, or need help in testing, please call or email our office and we'd be happy to assist you!
