How lucky we are to live in the community of villages nestled in the iconic “livable
forest” of Kingwood. Beautiful trees such as loblolly pines, oaks, ashes,
magnolias, bald cypresses, redbuds, dogwoods, and crepe myrtles adorn our
streets, yards, greenbelts, and parks.
You can help us maintain this livable forest by taking care of its trees, planting
new ones where there is a need, by not cutting down trees needlessly, and
supporting and volunteering to be part of groups that nurture and improve our
environment, such as Trees for Kingwood, trail associations, homeowner
associations and Kingwood Garden Club. Harvey, drought and disease have
taken a toll on our beautiful trees. We need your help as it truly “takes a village”
to maintain our trees and their survival.
For information on how our deed restrictions and covenants work to protect our
landscape, go to the Fosters Mill Village Community Association website to
review them. Permission to remove a tree should be obtained through Kingwood
Association Management, 1075 Kingwood Drive #100, 281-359-1102
There will
be no trash pickup on New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Pickup will resume on the next
scheduled pickup day.
STATUS UPDATE WCA TRASH CONTRACT
There has been a delay in WCA entering each name and address
in their billing system. WCA assures us
that the statements will be mailed this week and that trash service will begin
on July 1, 2019. There is a letter from
WCA that will be included with the initial statement explaining how to register
your account. This letter is also posted
at www.fostersmill.org.
There was a question as to why each resident had to register
their account versus just paying the quarterly charge. This is a process that would have been
required with any new trash provider. Most
may not remember that they had to do the same with Waste Management when they
first moved into the neighborhood.
The change from Waste Management was instigated by Waste
Management by their refusal to continue under the terms of service required by
the current contract, which is expiring June 30, 2019.
At least six trash companies were contacted soliciting
proposals, with three responding. This
competitive bid situation resulted in WCA being selected by the Board because
of what was considered the best value to the community. The contract includes a two-year option for a
future Board to add backdoor recycling at a more competitive rate than the
other providers were offering for curbside recycling.
