Water Matters Town Hall

10 a.m. • TODAY!
Social Center Ballroom

While drought conditions have been somewhat alleviated by recent weather trends, water conservation in Central Texas continues to be a priority. Please join us this morning from 10 a.m. to noon in the Social Center Ballroom, where we will address these concerns on a local level. Topics will include Sun City Texas’ 2015 community goals and objectives, resident testimonials on current conservation technologies and an update from the City of Georgetown regarding their latest programs. We hope to see you there — and remember, there are a number of ways to save water and help the environment, and they all start with YOU!

img   Poetry in Your Library

    Submitted by Nancy Davis, library volunteer

April is Poetry Month. Sun City Library is offering an opportunity for residents to express themselves through poetry. We have paper and pen ready for you to write your original poem or a favorite poem written by someone else. It does not need to be a complete poem if it is lengthy, but just the part that means something to you. Come by this month to write and to read what others have written. (Limericks are poems too.)

April Watering

Submitted by Carlton Mathis, Common Area & Irrigation Superintendent, [email protected]

With almost 2 inches of rain this week, and more most likely on the way this weekend, I would recommend that controllers be turned off at least through next week.

The Water Matters Team is available to help familiarize you with your irrigation system. If you need help setting up your controller, or would like a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation system, send an email to [email protected] , or contact your Neighborhood Representative. A Water Matters Ambassador will come to your home to assist you.
