________________________________________  Friendly Reminders: Cats
Submitted by Jim Romine, Executive Director, [email protected]
As a follow-up to a previous Friendly Reminder dealing with pets, please note that cats are not allowed to roam freely in the community. As we all know, cats love to use flower beds as their restrooms, and no one likes to find their deposits when working in their landscape beds. Also, cats are much liked by coyotes, which have been seen in our area lately, so keep Fluffy safe and indoors. ________________________________________

Water MattersSubmitted by Carlton Mathis, Common Area & Irrigation Superintendent, 512-948-7792, [email protected]
Well it wasn’t the typically wet October we usually get, and it was a bit on the warmer side. Rain and even cooler temperatures are in the forecast however. With the exception of the new sod and plant areas, which I will be running a one day per week program, I will begin turning off the irrigation to the common areas.
Remember that overwatering the landscape this time of year is an invitation for molds and fungus to take hold and damage valuable plant material and turf.
This weekend is the time change. Don’t forget to adjust your clocks, including the irrigation controller, or be prepared for the imminent social awkwardness.
For assistance with your landscape irrigation system, email the Water Matters Team at [email protected].
