Updated HOA and Board minutes are posted on the web site through June 2009.  See "Minutes" on the left.

 

There has been some confusion with the fliers WCID #17 sent to all the residents regarding their offer to handle trash removal and recycling through EISI. Currently the HOA is paying for you trash and recycling removal through Allied Waste. This cost is broken down as: $2.56 per month for recycling, $17.05 for trash removal, and $2.70 fuel/Environmental recovery. Therefore the total cost through Allied is $22.31 per month.

 

As you are aware, the cost of going through EISI will show up on your personal water bill and any problems with trash removal will have to be handled through WCID.  While it is your choice how to handle your trash/recycling removal, going with EISI means you are paying twice for trash / recycling removal as the cost for our exclusive contract with Allied is paid by a portion of your dues.  If you wish, you may cancel EISI by calling the WCID #17.

 

Your drinking water comes from Lake Travis! From WCID #17, our region continues to experience very serious drought conditions. LCRA has indicated that without significant rainfall, Lake Travis could fall another 15 feet from its already low level by the end of the summer.  Now when we are all starting to increase our usage, we are reminding everyone that water is not an unlimited resource, and we must conserve as much as possible, and use water efficiently.  

 

Stick to the watering schedule of two days per week or water even less.  Be aware of how much water you are using.  If you are using over 50,000 gallons per month, ask for a free water audit. Follow the home water conservation tips sent out by the district and available on the WCID's web site at www.wcid17.org.

 

Looking for a new restuarant to try out?  Two excellant choices are Steiner Ranch Steakhouse and Cafe Blue (lake access by boat).  Both resturants have excellant food and beautiful views of the lake.  Those boating on Lake Travis can access Cafe Blue by boat.  The new Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has USDA prime steaks, spectacular sunset views of Lake Travis and live music on most nights.  Grab a neighbor and check them out.
