Light Shines on Our Monuments
We have added some solar lights to the monuments as you enter from Acoma. These lights not only shine a little light on the community name but also are part of our efforts to improve the community visuals and show nearby residents and visitors that we care about our community and how it’s viewed by others. As part of those efforts to improve the community, we also are trying to make it safer. We already added one large LED solar light in the park to help bring some light to an otherwise darker area. But we have seen various people…

Our trash and recycle (and by recycle I mean our second blue trash can, as City of Surprise no longer recycles for the time being) pick up day will be changing to Wednesday in January. This is effective Jan 3rd. This mean our current trash pickup day would have been Monday, which is Jan 3rd, but now instead we will set out our trash on Tuesday nights for pick up on Wednesdays. I will repeat that.. DO NOT set trash out on Sunday Jan 2nd… DO set it out on Tuesday Jan 4th for PICK UP ON Wednesday Jan 5th.…

Sewer Drains Lowered
We recently had our water retention area (WRA) drains cleaned and while they were out inspecting them, the Board we notified about a some cracks around a drain. This drain was located within the WRA on the east side of the community on Gelding.

For the most part this wouldn’t be a concern, but with future plans of possibly utilizing that WRA on Gelding and hopefully soon to be adding a soccer net to…

Sewer Drains Cleaning and Repairs
We have a vendor on site cleaning and do some repairs to our sewer drains. This is a much needed clean which will definitely help clear the floodings in the parks caused by the monsoon season. Along with the cleaning and repairs, they will also be lowering a few drains in the park and water retention area on Gelding as they stick up from the ground several inches and could be a dangerous tripping hazard.

Our water retention area which also serves as one of our parks, was flooded with about 3 feet of water during the last monsoon storm on July 25th. it was only full for a couple days though. I will need to remind everyone to please stay try to avoid the parks and any water retention areas because there could be downed tress or other debris that may cause injury.
