With the upcoming July 4th celebrations, SWHVCA reminds residents that South Woodland Hills is part of the City of Houston and use of fireworks are illegal.  Please consider attending the public nearby events at Kingwood Town Center Park or King's Harbor for July 4 events and fireworks.

 

  The use of fireworks are not only illegal in the City and parts of the County but they are also are very dangerous.  The City will continue to enforce, in compliance with state law, fire and safety regulations within the city.  The fines are anywhere from $500 - $2000 for each individual firework.  Warnings are no longer used because of the seriousness of the firework laws. If a minor is caught with fireworks, the parent or guardian will receive the fine even if they were unaware of the minor's possession and/or usage.  

  Citizens should report all complaints regarding the illegal use of fireworks directly to the HPD Tel-communicator (non-emergency line) at 713-884-3131.  If the citizen believes that there may be a fire and/or medical emergency related to the use of fireworks, he/she should dial 9-1-1 and request the HFD.

New Rate for waste service provider in South Woodland Hills

    South Woodland Hills Village Community Association recently renewed a contract with Best Trash to provide trash collection and recycling services for our neighborhood.  Best Trash has been our waste service provider since 2013. Recent inflation based adjustments and market factors will change the future monthly billed amount to residents to $19.50 per month.  This rate takes effect for service starting July 1, 2019.

    Your board looked at several options including changing levels of service and alternate providers.  The board found continuing with Best Trash and the current service options to be the best value at this time.  The largest provider in the United States, Waste Management, is leaving the individually billed residential business in the Kingwood area.  This has led to several villages recently contracting with alternate providers as their contracts expired.

    The macro trends confronting the recycling business has prompted SWHVCA to seek options with recycling services.  The board plans to seek residents’ input regarding recycling options on the Fall 2019 annual meeting ballot. If you have questions concerning this matter please attend the next homeowner’s association meeting on July 8, 2019 at 7:00 pm at the South Woodland Hills community room at 2030 Shadow Rock Drive.
