Pathway Under Grogan's Mill Road to be Temporarily Closed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work on installing a new water line and repaving the path under Grogan's Mill Road will begin on August 1.  The path is expected to be reopened by the end of September.  The path which is owned by the The Woodlands Development Company is being transferred to the Township when finished.

 

The pathway is an extension off of the Millbend Loop that crosses under Grogan's Mill Road between North and South Millbend, near South Timbertop, and leads to the Conference Center and the Village Center on the west side of Grogan's Mill Road.

Water Fluoridation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A majority of The Woodlands MUDS, all except MUD 6 and 36, voted "no" to adding fluoride to the water supply when we start using surface water from Lake Conroe later this summer. The United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) currently recommends public drinking water supplies contain 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water in order to reduce instances of tooth decay.  Our current water supply contains about 0.6 milligrams.  The new water supply will be approximately 0.2 milligrams.  This change should be considered in your diet and brushing routine.



 

SJRA Easement Clearing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The San Jacinto River Authority will be doing easement clearing in various parts of The Woodlands in July and August.  A section along Sawdust between South Millbend and McDonald road will be done in August.
