A word from the Horseshoe Bay POA

PEC Notice
As part of our continuing commitment to the reliability of our electric system, we have contracted Arbol Tree Service, to remove vegetation within the utility easement around underground (URD) transformers and high voltage junction boxes in your area. Please note, a door hanger will be left at your location if we will be working on your property. In the past, our vegetation management projects have been primarily focused on overhead lines; however, recently the need for safer access to URD equipment has increased. PEC understands our members want to limit obstructions of our beautiful Hill Country so, rather than overhead lines, the more capital intensive URD systems were designed for this area. We also know that maintaining the aesthetic of your landscaping is important, so we ask that you partner with us to improve the safety within the easements around this equipment.
We have entrusted our contractor to remove vegetation which could inadvertently cause injuries due to tripping or falling while working on energized equipment, as well as any obstacles that could slow down power restoration, especially in the dark and during severe weather. The health and longevity of the equipment can also be affected by watering, fertilizing, and root growth. Access to our equipment is required in Section 300.9.1.8 of the Tariff and Business Rules. Visit pec.coop/trees for additional information about our tree care program, landscaping tips, and National Electrical Safety Code and OSHA standards.
If you plan to relocate your vegetation prior to the contracted work, call
Texas 811 by dialing 8-1-1 or 800-344-8377 before you dig.
For you Safety:
- Do not handle, sit on, or set anything on the equipment
- It may be necessary to access your property by vehicle or on foot. Don't hesitate to ask for identification if you are concerned about anyone at your location
- If you have any special instructions, contact us using the information below
- This is a maintenance project on PEC's equipment and you are not required to be at the location
We appreciate your cooperation and your membership! For any questions or concerns, please contact Matthew Gonzalez at 830-454-3351, or matthew.gonzalez@peci.com.

Horseshoe Bay POA Helpful Tips | |
|
Did you know that September is Self-Improvement Month? Yes, it is! Here are three ideas for you to implement for a better you and a healthier life.
VOLUNTEER: People who volunteer are happier and feel volunteering gives them a sense of purpose. Identify one or two charities that align with your interests and commit to volunteering a few hours a week or month. You'll be helping them, and yourself.
EXERCISE: Go for a nice walk in our beautiful community, preferably early in the morning or in the evening when the weather is cooler. Get a jump on the holidays and start an exercise routine or join a gym to be in tip-top shape before the holidays arrive.
READ: Crawl up with a book or two that might introduce you to some new worlds or perhaps give you helpful ideas on how to improve your life and health. Start a book club! Get a few friends together, pick a book and schedule an evening in which to discuss the book.

Question: "Why are my property taxes going up?"
Answer: We have received this question several times this month. Unfortunately, the POA has no authority over Burnet or Llano appraisal districts. What we do want, is ensure our members are up to date with the most current property tax standards. Below is an article with the constitutional standards on property taxes.
If you have a pressing question, please feel free to send us your inquiry by clicking on the button below, and maybe your question will be on next months addition!
