Neighborhood Reminders & Updates
NOTICE: WATER SUPPLY CHANGES
On October 3, 2011, Lakemont began a new process of water disinfection that uses chloramines rather than chlorine as the disinfectant in the water supply. This new process is required in connection with Lakemont’s upcoming conversion from groundwater to surface water to comply with mandates from the Harris Galveston Coastal Subsidence District to reduce groundwater pumpage. You should have received a notice from your district explaining this process and how it will affect water customers, including kidney dialysis patients and fish owners. If you did not receive this notice, please contact the district’s operator, Southwest Water, at (713) 405-1750 to request a copy of the notice. A FEW REMINDERS FROM THE DEED RESTRICTIONS CHAIRMAN
1. Holiday decorations are permitted and will not require approval. Decorations may be installed no sooner than 30 days prior to the holiday and must be removed within 15 days after the holiday for which they are intended. 2. Please do not place signs of any nature on the grounds here in Lakemont or on mailboxes. These are an eyesore and are very unattractive in the neighborhood. Any signs other than Lakemont approved
signs will be removed and discarded. 3. Lakemont has 2 garage sales per year and those are the only ones allowed. Individual garage sales or “moving sales” are not allowed and signs promoting such will be picked up and discarded. PET OWNERS: A FRIENDLY REMINDER
This is a friendly reminder to pet owners to keep dogs on a leash and out of the lakes around Lakemont. Not all homeowners are comfortable with loose dogs or cats so please be courteous to your neighbors and follow the leash law. Also, be sure that you are picking up after your pets in the common areas; this should be made easier with our newly installed pet waste stations around the community. REMINDER:TRASH PICK-UP Trash collection is on Mondays and Thursdays. Garbage shall be kept in sanitary refuse containers with tightly fitting lids and should be out by 7:00am. After trash pick-up occurs, please move your garbage cans out of public view as quickly as possible. For heavy trash pick-up please call Royal Disposal to schedule. If you should have any further questions, contact Royal Disposal directly at 713-526-1536 or via their website www. royaldisposal.com.
