Residents of Northwood Pines may have noticed a number of improvements to the neighborhood recently, including the construction of enhanced street lighting, the planting of new trees, and the addition of decorative pedestrian lighting to the bridge along Northgate Crossing Boulevard.  These projects are the result of an ongoing partnership and collaboration between Northgate Crossing Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “Water District”) and the Northwood Pines Homeowners Association (the “HOA”).  The latest project underway in connection with this partnership is a direct enhancement to the Northwood Pines Park.  Last week, the existing playground equipment was removed and site preparation began for a splash park with a seating wall.  This splash park will replace the existing playground equipment.  The Water District and the HOA believe that this project will be a benefit to the families in Northwood Pines, and look forward to seeing everyone out in the park in the near future.  In the meantime, please be patient with our construction!

With the Fourth of July just around the corner, many of us are getting excited for Independence Day and the celebrations that come with it. While for some, fireworks bring joy and excitement, for others, they can be a cause of stress and anxiety. Please see the 4th of July etiquette ideas below to keep in mind this holiday:

During this time of social distancing and self quarantine one thing still stands true, WATER still flows!

 

Residents need to know they will still see Inframark trucks and field personnel performing their daily tasks that are part of maintaining the collection and distribution systems.

 

The appropriate personal protective equipment will be used by personnel during these daily tasks. Also, we have asked them to keep the appropriate social distance (6 feet) if approached by a resident. “Presence of the COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water supplies and based on current evidence the risk to water
supplies is low.”

According to the CDC, COVID-19 is mainly thought to spread between people who are in close contact with one another. EPA’s drinking water regulations require treatment at public water systems to remove or kill pathogens, including viruses.

The Annual Meeting scheduled for April 16th has been postponed until further notice. 

Please note that celebratory gunfire is illegal and can lead to prison time. Bullets come down at very fast speeds causing serious damage or injury. On Dec. 31, 2017 alone, Houston Police responded to at least 1,500 calls related to celebratory gunfire, according to a KPRC report. This New Year’s, and every day of the year, practice responsible firearm use and obey the law - don’t discharge a firearm in celebratory gunfire. If you hear gunshots at any time, call 911 immediately.

Texas Pride Disposal observes just four holidays: New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.  Details are posted on their website regarding trash service and office schedule should a collection day fall on a holiday. Please click here for more details.
