| City of Houston Implements Stage One Water Conservation Measures
Lack of rain and record high temperatures have made it necessary for the City of Houston to institute Stage One Water Conservation Measures, as outlined in Chapter 47 in the Code of Ordinances. The City requests residents limit lawn watering to the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. and NO more than two days per week. Residents are asked to abide by the following schedule: Sundays and Thursdays for customers with even-numbered street addressesSaturdays and Wednesdays for customers with odd-numbered street addresses The City will also be contacting large commercial water customers to request voluntary reductions in water consumption.

Kingwood Medical Center Seeks TxDOT Land For decades, KSA has served as the steward of Kingwood's entries. After the reconstruction of US Highway 59, KSA partnered with TxDOT to renovate the entries.
Through KSA, Kingwood CAs, residents and businesses contributed almost half of a million dollars to this effort for construction. They also contribute another $94,000 per year toward maintenance – on both sides of US 59 at North Park Drive and Kingwood Drive. KSA has maintained all eight quadrants at both intersections for more than 30 years.
Recently, HCA/Kingwood Medical Center requested KSA's support in buying land owned by TxDOT inside the old entrance ramp that is adjacent to the hospital. The hospital wants the land to expand its parking lot and relocate its heliport closer to the emergency room entrance, but it would mean cutting down the trees on the corner.
KSA spent two months exploring the request. To understand KSA's involvement in the entries and learn more about the ramifications of the hospital's request go to www.kingwoodparks.com. Then click in entries.
