Spring Cleaning
May is a good time to clean that garage. A frequent question is
how to get rid of old paint. The easy and legal way is to allow
the paint to harden by leaving the lid off the can. It may take
some time, but then the trash pickup company can take the
solidified remains. Never dump paint, oils, fuels or other
hazardous wastes into the sink, storm sewers or “fence line”.
Chemicals are a different story. Watch the local papers to find
out when Harris County has hazardous waste clean up days.
Speaking of storm sewers; never put leaves or grass clippings
into the drains – that causes problems for all of us.
We are moving forward with a new fire station to replace the old
station located in the heart of Cypressdale. The new property is
located adjacent to the power substation on Louetta. We hope to
build as soon as possible to address the needs of our citizens.
Continuing our commitment to service, a new ladder truck will be
in service soon. The old one was traded in and will now serve in
Richmond, Texas.
