Recycle Your Old Directory
When your new 2018-2019 Directory arrives, please deposit of your previous Directory in the blue bin located across from the tennis courts at 2 Texas Drive. The CA will shred these books to protect your privacy. Recently, residents have been placing other items in the bin which, unfortunately, adds to the cost of shredding.
Please do not place anything except old Directories in the bin. The blue bin is for old Directories only.

USE THE BLUE BIN
Directories ONLY in this bin!

Please, no Sun Rays, no commercial phone directories, no magazines, no clothing, no unused medications. |

Native Area Mowing Update
Submitted by Carlton Mathis, Common Area & Irrigation Superintendent,
All neighborhoods along Cool Springs have been mowed, with only those neighborhoods along Pedernales and Rocky Hollow remaining. Although the majority of this process can be handled by our mowers, there are some areas that are less accommodating and will need to be handled with line trimmers. The Line Trimmers can be up to 2 weeks behind the mowers. All cuttings will be left where they fall. This is a Fire Wise exercise only, and not for aesthetic, or any other purpose.
MOWING REMAINING in Phase 2 Neighborhoods:
54, 56, 59, 58, 57, 55, 52, 51, 50, 49, 64, 48
