OCTOBER 2016 NEWSLETTER

FROM THE MANAGER’S DESK

Dear Ponds Homeowners,

The big news this month is that we will have a 2nd

choice

for “hardwired” TV, phone, and Internet services here at

The Ponds. You’ve likely seen the HomeTelco trucks in

the neighborhood, the marker flags, and the paint on the

ground marking utility lines. HomeTelco is beginning a

project of installing fiber-optic lines throughout the

community. They will be using the best machines available

to route lines underground without the need to trench.

They will do some digging, but the majority of their work

will be unobtrusive. They ask that you flag your irrigation

heads in the areas where they run lines, and use a white

landscape marker paint to show where your irrigation lines

are located. An advantage of HomeTelco is that they

deliver service through fiber to the house, not just to the

curb. Introductory packages to Ponds homeowners will

include upgrades to the wiring within your homes so you

can enjoy all of the advantages fiber-to-the-home offers.

You will receive additional information on the company’s

services and fees as they reach down to your streets from

Hundred Oaks Parkway. To keep updated on their

progress, as well as to complete a form for more

information, you may also go to VelocitybyHome.com/

Ponds. The site will be updated regularly as they move

through the community.

Some of you have noticed the new recycle containers in

the Pavilion and Farmhouse. The Ponds Conservancy

made these gracious contributions as part of their ongoing

efforts to practice environmental stewardship. Please use

them and sort the individual pieces as marked on the

containers. They are for recyclable glass, plastic, and

paper only. Please continue to use the existing trash cans

for all other materials.

Sincerely,

Steve Grimes

Community Manager
