Lakes 1 and 4 Renovation Update – November 11th

The district has engaged a litigation attorney to review the information regarding the renovation of Lakes 1 and 4 due to the lakes not retaining water as expected. The attorney has filed claims on the work warranty and the maintenance bond and is awaiting on communications from the parties before proceeding on any legal action. The district has been advised by legal counsel to not comment on the matter so as to not jeopardize the district’s position with regard to any litigation.

The district is continuing to maintain the lake levels as recommended by the previous engineering company and geotechnical company. Water volumes required to maintain these levels are also being recorded to provide information to our legal counsel.

The original plan regarding the fountains was to install them after the lakes were repaired. The legal process is proving to be a drawn-out affair. As a result, the HOA is looking at getting the fountains currently in storage serviced and installed before the end of the year. This may change if the district gets an update from our legal counsel regarding feedback from the interested partners.

Lakes 1 and 4 Renovation Update – September 3rd

Due to the continued water loss, the District has engaged a litigation attorney and geotechnical engineer to review all information regarding the Lakes 1 and 4 rehab project.  A lawsuit has not yet been filed; therefore, the District cannot comment any further regarding the future plans for Lakes 1 and 4 beyond what has already been discussed prior to the engagement of the attorney. The District can provide the following information:

  1. Lake levels are being maintained as recommended by the previous engineering company and geotechnical company.
  2. Daily water levels and pumping volumes are being recorded to document the volume of water being lost.
  3. To avoid multiple installations and removals, the fountains and lights will not be reinstalled until the lakes can be repaired to the satisfaction of the District.

The lakes currently have a considerable amount of floating aquatic vegetation (algae).  All treatments for aquatic vegetation are the responsibility of the Texana Plantation HOA.
