New Contract with Waste Connections
Greetings Lakemoor Hills Residents
Recently a number of neighbors noticed a dramatic increase in their Waste Connections fees. We reached out to Waste Connections and realized that our contract from 2016 had expired. We renegotiated the contract with WCI and have secured the discount again for our LHHA members.
The discounted rates for our members are $52.50 per quarter for trash or $88.50 per quarter for trash & recycle pickup. The non-discounted rate for trash & recycle is close to $130 per quarter. So the LHHA members are still seeing a substantial savings.
As we go through this transition, please check your next billing. If it is not the rates that are listed above, you are to contact Customer Service at WCI (865-522-8161 and select option 2). You can speak to a customer service agent who can adjust your bill.
IF you are not yet a member of the homeowners association, you can receive the discount as soon as you join. Just go to lakemoor.org and select “HOA Member Dues and Renewals”.
July Happy Hour moved to next Friday
Hey Friends… yesterday’s forecast showed a 50% chance of rain at 5 PM so the July Happy Hour was rescheduled to next Friday, July 28th. Hope to see everyone then for ice cream, hot dogs and the featured Cocktail of the Month – The Peach Bellini!
Support for Emergency Response Team
LHHA Emergency Response Team is soliciting donations to assist and help defray costs for the individuals that assist with storm damage in LH. For many years, Ron “Gator” Garlin and Jason Blasdell have graciously volunteered their time in removing down trees and assisting getting power restored in LH. Although these two are volunteering their time, the LH Board thought it was appropriate to solicit donations to help assist in partially defraying the cost in their volunteer work.
The LHHA is an umbrella organization with the goal to make Lakemoor Hills a great place to live. Gator Garlin and Jason Blasdell have certainly been wonderful neighbors in helping LH neighbors and the LH neighborhood.
If you’d like to donate to this worthwhile cause, you can mail a check, use Venmo, or contribute on the LHHA website. Contributions will help with providing gift cards to these two neighbors to show our appreciation for all they do to help make LH a great place to live. Please see below:
Please note that your contribution is for the LHHA ERT.

Pickleball is here!
Lakemoor Hills Pickleball Pals –
With the Pickleball craze in full force and our cleaned up courts, we are creating a group of Lakemoor Hills Pickleball Pals that will meet at a designated time each week (TBD) for open play. This is a weekly event that is open to everyone of all abilities and experience. No fees. No mandatory attendance. Very casual. So stop by and check it out.
The Pickleball Pals realize a lot of you are new to this sport and we encourage you to come out and try it. We will help you along. We should have paddles to borrow until you get hooked and buy your own!
The first meeting is this Wednesday June 7th at 9 am. We will discuss what day and time is best for everyone and then play pickleball. Note – we are currently considering each Thursday at 9am for the ongoing day and time.
Lastly….the courts are all cleaned up and ready to play. A big thanks to Diane DeRopp and Cheri VanBynen for their hard work and dedication. They look great. Two of the courts are now painted with Pickleball lines.
For more information, please contact Diane DeRopp.

LHHA takes over maintenance of the roundabouts
LHHA has taken over maintenance of the roundabouts, including weeding, mulching and mowing.
The LHHA board reached out to 3 landscape companies and determined ANDRES LAWN CARE was the best solution and he gave us a good price.
ANDRES LAWN CARE mows and landscapes many homes in LH. If you are interested in a company to mow or landscape your property, their number is (865) 927-6214.
We are still seeking donations for this project to keep LH the best community it can be. And it’s easy to support your community! Donations can be made using either option below:
