PETS MUST BE LEASHED AT ALL TIMES |
|
The city's leash law makes it illegal for animals to be at large (running free, unrestrained) within the city limits, even with an owner present (unless inside the city's dog park). Dogs must be restrained using a properly fitted leash, chain, collar, or harness that is being held by the owner at all times.
If you see a pet/animal without a leash or if you see any type of animal that you feel poses a threat to your safety please call Irving Animal Services at 972-721-2256 and/or the Irving Police Department immediately. Unfortunately the office staff are not equipped to handle such issues and stray / dangerous animal control is not under the purview of the Association.
You can find the entire City of Irving animal code here.

July's Hackberry Creek Board of Directors Meeting will be held July 20th at 7pm at the Hackberry Creek Country Club.

SOUTHERN OAK PARK & VILLAGE GREENS
CLOSED JULY 6 THROUGH JULY 8
|
|
Both Village Greens and Southern Oak park will be closed from July 6th until July 8th for painting and staining various items. Please do not let your children or guests use these areas until work is complete. Southern Oak Park will have the gazebo re-stained and the playground shade canopy pressure-washed and cleaned. Village Greens will have all woodwork re-stained, concrete playing surfaces re-painted, sidewalks caulked and the stamped concrete walkways re-stained and sealed.
We will notify everyone via NewsFlash and Mid-Week Update when complete!
|
|
STREET REPAIRS WRAPPING UP |
|
The street contractors will be wrapping up concrete pours and sidewalk repairs in the next few weeks. Once all construction is done they will be doing dirt / sod work in areas along concrete replacements in all locations where needed. They will do a final walk-thru as a team, then the Village Manager will conduct a walk with the engineer to confirm everything has been addressed. If you have a small area of grass that was damaged, look for work to address it no later than mid-July. Their subcontractor doing that work will be doing all areas at one time instead of individually after each section as it is more cost effective to the association. |
|
WATERING RESTRICTIONS - DID YOU KNOW? |
|
To promote good water use habits, minimize water waste and preserve Irving’s water supply, the city enforces time-of-day irrigation restrictions. These limits make it a violation of city ordinance to water between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from April 1 through Oct. 31. Odd numbered addresses can water on Sunday and Wednesday. Even numbered addresses can water Tuesdays and Saturdays. Please ensure your controllers are set correctly so you aren't cited! |
|
FREE IRRIGATION CHECK BY THE CITY! |
|
The City of Irving offers an irrigation checkup as a courtesy to all residential home owners. Upon your request, one or more representatives of the City of Irving Water Department will schedule and conduct an investigation of your irrigation system and notify you of any leaks or problems that are detected. Follow-up repairs or modification will be the responsibility of the homeowner. Department staff will provide coaching on the cycle-soak method. |
|
PLEASE DOWNLOAD & USE GATEKEY APP |
|
On average only 3 out of every 10 visitors are being added to GateKey by residents which is over-burdening the gate attendants and causing delays at gate entry points. Less than 1 out of 5 residents have used the GateKey app in the last 30 days. The more often gate attendants are having to manually enter visitor information, the longer it takes for vehicles in the visitor lanes to be processed through the gates and this also causes delays for residents being granted access. |
|
In order to expedite the entry of your visitors, contractors and guests all residents should be using the GateKey app to pre-authorize entry.
When residents fail to pre-authorize visitors, this slows down traffic flow in the visitor lanes at the gates because the gate attendants are forced to call the resident to inquire and authorize the guest, contractor, or visitor. The GateKey app has a notify feature built-in so if you pre-authorize your visitor and select that option and you have the correct cell phone number on file you will receive a text message once your visitor checks in at the gate.
