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.
