Electricity Repairs Update
Electricity Repairs Update
Collins Electric repaired electrical lines along the Interlachen Pkwy walkway that were damaged during last summer's Woodbury Water Treatment Project. Electricity has been restored to all three monuments and the Highland Blvd median.
Unfortunately, the line was severed under the Highland Blvd roadbed that feeds the Interlachen Pkwy median's irrigation system. The sprinkler repair on this median is contingent on restoring electricity to the sprinkler controller. The Board is seeking reimbursement from Xcel for damage caused by their subcontractor who cut our power line while digging near the small monuments last year.
Irrigation Repair Update
Electricity Repairs Update
Irrigation replacement work along Interlachen Pkwy begins in May. The irrigation system was destroyed during the Woodbury Water Treatment Project dig.
The board submitted a grant to the City's Water Efficiency Incentive Program with hopes of offsetting repair costs. We are installing a more efficient irrigation system that should reduce the HOA's water usage costs.
The Main Monument will be the only area planted this year because of the lack of irrigation.
Mailbox Post Landscape
Numerous Lots had their landscape material removed during the process of eliminating mailbox posts and installing the new posts.
The mailbox contract did not include any landscape repair. Since this is the first time a project like this has been attempted by our HOA, the Board didn't anticipate that many of the new posts would not have their original landscape material replaced. Lot owners for each mailbox group are responsible for replacing any missing landscape materials around their mailbox posts.
Mailbox Project
THANK YOU to to our Highland Village neighbors for your support of our mailbox project. If you have issues with your mailbox or post CONTACT THE ASSOCIATION. Homeowner changes to mailboxes or posts will invalidate the contractor's material and workmanship warranty.
Final Costs
The final invoice has been paid but homeowners will be billed for the metal toppers ($11 per Lot), with the 2026 assessment. This cost was unknown when Special Assessment invoices were mailed.
