Preparing for Hurricane Season:

It’s crucial to take necessary precautions to ensure your safety and minimize damage to your property.

• Anticipate Street Flooding: During high-intensity rains, there may be street ponding or flooding if the storm drains are overwhelmed and backed up. Don’t panic if you see water accumulating on the roads. As the rainfall decreases, the storm sewers will catch up, and any water in the streets will recede. This process may take some time, so patience is key.
• Keep Cars Off the Streets: To avoid damage to your vehicles and to ensure emergency services can navigate the streets, please keep cars off the roads. Park your vehicles in garages or driveways and away from areas prone to flooding.
• Secure Loose Items: Strong winds and heavy rain can turn loose items into dangerous projectiles. Make sure to bring in garbage cans, any loose furniture, or items outside that may grow wings in the storm. Securing these items not only protects your property but also helps keep your neighbors safe.
• Stay Informed: Keep an eye on weather updates and emergency notifications. Local authorities will provide the latest information on the storm’s progress and any additional precautions you should take.
• Create an Emergency Kit: Ensure you have an emergency kit ready with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents. Being prepared can make a significant difference during and after the storm.
• Follow Local Guidance: Adhere to any evacuation orders or other instructions from local authorities. They have the most accurate and up-to-date information to keep you safe.
• 
  

By taking these steps, we can help each other stay safe and minimize the impact of the hurricanes. Stay indoors, stay informed, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

"There are certain things you can look for in a tree that may be hazardous to your home. Being proactive could help. First tip is to clean the upper canopy of the tree. The goal is to allow the wind to blow through the tree and not against it. Once a tree is pruned and manicured, you can see daylight coming through it. You can see the sky through a canopy that's been filtered out.

Next, you want to check the base of the tree to see if there are any cracks in the trunk or largely exposed roots. Most trees only have about two to three feet of underground roots. With all of the rain southeast Texas has been receiving this season, the ground is more prone to being saturated. If that soil becomes soft, gummy, and mushy, there's no stability. Your roots are not anchored anymore. They become soggy and loose. Something else to look for is whether your tree shows signs of disease. Look for discoloration, deterioration, or even fungus growth. If you don't know what to look for, you can always ask local tree maintenance companies to perform an inspection. Just make sure that whoever you call is properly licensed and insured."

Good luck to all our nominees, and thank you for keeping our community a beautiful place to live!

Lake Management:

The crew collected trash and debris from all lakes and shorelines on the Canyon Lakes side.

Entry Water Features: Chlorine shock was added to each feature and all debris baskets were cleared.

Villages III: The lights and timers are functional and accurate. The fountain is running and flowing properly. Treatment was provided for submerged algae along the bulkhead. The outfall was clear of debris.

Switchback: All lights and timers are functional and accurate. The four fountains are all running properly. The water level is about three inches above normal. The crew cleared debris from the outfall, so it is now draining properly. Treatment was provided for algae.

Willow Ranch: Upon arrival, the West fountain was not running. After conducting our field diagnostic tests, we determined the motor is in need of repair. The crew pulled the fountain for offsite maintenance. The other fountain is running properly. The lights and timers are functional and accurate. The outfall was clear of debris. Treatment was provided for submerged algae.

Nautical Point (4): The lights and timers are functional and accurate. The fountain was down upon arrival due to an issue with the aerator timer in the panel. We reset the timer and put in an order for a replacement part. If this problem persists, we will replace the faulty component. The fountain is now running and flowing properly. Treatment was provided for minor algae.

Nautical Point (5): the fountain is running properly. The lights and timers are functional and accurate. Treatment was provided for submerged algae along the bulkhead.

Mariner's Bay: We installed the new decorative head on the North fountain, so both fountains are now running and flowing properly. All lights and timers are functional and accurate. Treatment was provided for algae.

Additionally, we stopped by Danbury Bridge to ensure the outfall was clear of debris. The back fountain in Harmony Springs still has no incoming power. This issue will need to be handled by CenterPoint because the meter is in need of repairs. All other fountains on the Stone Gate side are running properly.

The crew observed Nutria rats in the Switchback Lake during yesterday's maintenance visit. These are a common nuisance in lakes that we maintain and can cause a lot of issues with fountains/light sets by chewing through the power cords. We aren't able to eradicate them, but a local pest control company could set out cage traps for them.

Gate Maintenance:

Monday:

Island Shores, Willow Ranch, Blevins, Switchback, Harmony Springs: gates were toggled open because of thunderstorm knocked the systems offline temporarily. I flipped toggled switches, gates are now functional 

Picked up CAP2D from Warehouse, installed and programmed new equipment. The Tennis court at the Splash Pad is now completely operational.

Canyon Gate exit: gates were stuck open by loop being triggered. I reset and ran tests on loop detectors. Gate is operational

Gates that remain open, to be fixed: 7&8’s, KFHP, Mariners Bay, Mallory Bridge 

Gates that are closed but still needs work: Island Shores, Switchback, 

Tuesday

During Morning Drive thru, seen Willow ranch’s license plate camera turned sideways. Apparently a kid messed with the camera and turn it sideways for no reason. No damage was done

Removed 7&8 gate operator

Got updates for all gates still open and in need of repair.

Willow Fairway speaker went out temporarily. A power cycle resolved issue.

Resident had issue with EZ TAG at Bluff Springs gate… gate was fine and information in system was correct. No issue on our end.

Attempted to power on Blevins LP Cam but had no luck. Logged in with monitor/keyboard and laptop but still nothing. gonna call tech support for all remaining camera issues for tomorrow.

Wednesday

Canyon gate kept opening and closing by itself and I checked the operator, it had code 93, I took off the arm of the gate and noticed that the arm wasn’t on track. The slot and pin were on opposing sides. I readjusted the arm, reattached the arm and ran it for a while. It seems to be back to normal operations

Guardhouse visitor arm completely came off. There was an incident back on the 6th of July where a vehicle hit the arm while driving thru and at the time a decision to keep it attached was made. Now the arm must be replaced. Will send pics in different email in the morning.

A resident was having trouble with accessing Willow Ranch via Transcore. I adjusted a few things on her account. Haven’t heard back from the resident yet.

Received card reader for office today.

Thursday 

Resident stopped me asking about the walk in gate at Lost Mill Hahns Peak and if something can be done about it. She was having to use her finger to exit the gate. I readjusted the latch down just a bit, spray painted and let dry… gate is good to go.

Canyon gate was still acting up today. I readjusted the arm again. The arm somehow slipped off of the pin again. I placed arm back on and tightened it. Gate is good to go as of right now.

Newlight bend cameras are all up now. the Entry Overview Canera was offline for a bit but today I got it back to working.

Blevins license plates camera I attempted the same task but no luck. Blevins camera didn’t even click, need to be replaced. Internet was good.

Keystone fairway Hahns Peak cameras turned on and gave activity but there was no activity coming FROM the bridge. No activity to the cameras only activity going into the bridge

On closer view of the Mariners Bay situation. Both gate need to be repaired. Entry gate secondary operator is leaning towards incoming traffic, I assume from the second storm. Exit gate on secondary side was hit by the lawn service company and needs to be repaired. 

Friday

Verified the issue with the Volleyball camera. The extender suffered some water damage and is now inoperable. Need a new one to replace it. I’ve used a spare extender for the time being and it looks like it’s working fine now. In any case, the other camera for the Tennis court, will still need an extender. I’ve also placed sealant around the cracks of the box to prevent this from happening again.

Bluff springs Internet went offline, I power cycled the modem. Internet is back online cameras functional

Blevins Transcore was not reading EZ Tags. I power cycled it and tested it. It is now operational.

Hundreds of Egrets begin migrating around this time of year in search of a favorable nesting area to form their rookery. History shows that these birds appear to choose the same location each year. When establishing a nest, Egrets are drawn to large, well-established trees, with dense networks of limbs conducive for protection when nesting.

First and foremost, to respect and be aware of: Egrets are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. What does this mean? By law, none of these birds can be killed, or their nests disturbed once they have eggs or young. It is unlawful to do anything to these birds once an egg is in the nest.

Residents can purchase items to help discourage nesting, such as air horns, bright streamers to hang in trees, water nozzles and "scare eye balloons," which are common tools used to scare away birds.
