1) Keep Our Storm Drains Clean

Street/storm drains are critical to keeping neighborhoods from flooding when it rains; when leaves/grass clippings collect in street gutters and block drains, water can back up and cause ponding that can flood yards and homes. You can help prevent flooding in our neighborhood with a few small maintenance actions on your property.

Keep leaves and debris out of drains:

• Avoid piling yard waste such as fallen leaves, grass clippings, etc on your property where it could wash into city drains. Keep yard waste in a waste bin or other container.
• Use a rake or broom to remove leaves and debris that may collect on or around street/storm drains, and then place the material in your yard waste container.
• Blow, sweep, and pick up the debris in the street gutters in front of your lot.

By design, storm drains are self-cleaning; however, the drains are designed only for storm water and empty directly into major ditches and bayous. In order to limit environmental concerns, maintenance needs, or slow drainage/flooding issues, residents and/or lawn service personnel should never dispose of leaves, grass clippings, motor oil, or any other items/debris in the storm drains.

Please keep our drains clear

2) Dumping Over Hog Fence

The area beyond our perimeter hog fence is a natural area that belongs to our trail association, Kings Crossing Trail Association. It has been observed that trash, household and yard waste, has been disposed over the fence.

Homeowners/residents are kindly asked not to dispose of anything in that area. Our trash provider, Best Trash, will pick up all of the items observed dumped over the hog fence, if placed in a trash receptable or tied & bundled.

Also, if you have a personal lawn service, please speak with them to be sure they also do not dump anything in that area.

Please keep our area picked up and streets clean.

Thank you.
