WASTEWATER AVERAGING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS Did you know that the wastewater bill that you will pay the entire next year is determined during the upcoming four winter months? Your wastewater bill can often be as much or more than your actual water bill, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to monitor your water consumption during the months of November through March to ensure that your wastewater bill is as low as possible. The water usage in your house (for showers, sinks, toilets, laundry, etc) is more difficult to curb and is typically much less than the water used outside the home (for sprinkler systems and pools). Therefore, the best way to adjust your wastewater burden during the averaging period is to scale back the amount of water used to water your lawn and landscape during the winter months. Plants and lawn grasses enter a dormancy period during the cooler months and do not need nearly as much water to be sustained Copyright ÂŠ 2014 Peel, Inc.

as compared to the summer months. Properly adjusting your winter water consumption can save you hundreds of dollars per month in wastewater charges, which can add up to thousands of dollars over the course of a year. Not to mention, you are helping to preserve our water resources during the drought. For more specific details on wastewater averaging, visit the City of Austin Utilities website at www.coautilities.com, or call (512) 494-9400 to speak to a representative that can answer your questions. You can also speak to a landscape professional at a local nursery to determine what amount of water is appropriate for your landscape during the fall and winter months. (Note: This year, the city will be averaging all three of your full billing cycles, they will not throw out the highest of the three as in previous years.)

Home Improvement Projects Require ARB Approval

There has recently been a proliferation of projects, both within the bounds of the Davenport deed restrictions and some outside of them, that have been started without first seeking approval from the Architectural Review Board. Please remember that you MUST first apply and receive approval from the ARB before you commence on a home improvement project to avoid unnecessary fines and fees. It is both time and cost effective to follow this procedure so that you know your project can proceed smoothly and not be subject to halting or, in the extreme case, removal of work that was already completed because it does not meet neighborhood building guidelines set forth in our CC&Rs. So, what types of remodels, renovations, or landscaping work need approval from the ARB, and how does a homeowner receive approval to start the process? All exterior remodels and renovations, as well as some interior ones, that change the existing look of your home or other structures on the property need approval from the Architectural Review Board before you begin work. Landscape

work that creates new beds or requires the installation of hardscape also requires approval. It is always best to check with our property manager, Earline Wakefield at earline.wakefield@goodwintx.com or (512) 502-7526, when in doubt. An overview of the process and the Davenport CC&Rs can be found on our website, www.goodwintx. com (select Davenport Ranch Neighborhood from the drop-down menu) and the ARB Review forms can be found there as well. The ARB Review form will contain further information about the fees, deposits and processes that you must follow throughout your project. What exactly is the Architectural Review Board (ARB)? The Architectural Review Board for Davenport Ranch is comprised of volunteer homeowners and an outside, paid architect who review the construction plans submitted by homeowners prior to commencing a project on their property. The ARB ensures that the plans abide by the deed restrictions and CC&Rs for Davenport Ranch, which in turn promotes harmony, fairness, and home value preservation throughout the neighborhood.
