We are also partnering with Ijams Nature Center and supporting their annual River Rescue project.  River Rescue is dedicated to cleaning up trash that has accumulated along the river bottom before TVA raiseS the river each year to its full pool.  This year their event is scheduled on April 1, but we are going to count our efforts on March 25.  Ijams has offered us garbage bags, gloves and T-shirts.

After the storm

by

Rode my area and a few more after the storm. Montlake Dr and surrounding streets seemed pretty good .No damage that I can see. The house on the corner by the church looks like they had a big branch brake off a tree in the front.Doesn’t seem to be causing any problems other than needing cleaned up

info on power outage in the neighborhood

by

This is information from C.L. Overman, KUB Chair for LHHA:

The power has been out in Lakemoor Hills since, approximately, 1:00 pm this afternoon. 350+ homes are without power but service is being restored gradually.   KUB hopes to have all power resumed by 4:00 pm this afternoon but the continued storms and winds could cause additional disruption. If anyone sees a downed power pole, limb on lines, etc., please call 524-2911 and go through the automated response system. At the end, select #7, give your account number or phone number listed on your account, and submit the information you have. This will help KUB target the problem areas assisting them to restore power quickly.

Submitted by Sharon Gerkin for C.L. Overman, who is without power………..

2 Lost Dogs

by

I came down Montlake about 15 minutes ago and there were 2 medium to large dogs running around the road.  They belong to somebody because they both had on collars and tags.  One looked solid black and the other mostly black with a little brown.  They were running around looking for their home.  I stopped, but didn’t get out of the car and they came running up to my car.  They were in the area about mid-way on Montlake.  I hope they are already home, but if they aren’t maybe this will help them get home.

Mulch

by

Nancy Jones has posed a question about mulch.  To my knowledge, there is no group rate for mulch but I’m sure Nancy (and maybe others) would appreciate any suggestions.

From: Nancy Jones <[email protected]>
Subject: Mulch

Message Body:
Is there a nursery that works with the Homeowners Associaton to provide a group rate for mulch? If not, where does the best place seem to be to purchase large amounts of mulch? We are starting to get our yard ‘beautified”!
Thank you,
Nancy J

PLEASE SLOW DOWN

by

In response to your concerns, a group of neighbors is working to make our neighborhood safer. You will likely see an increased presence of the Knox County Sheriff’s Department in the next few weeks. If you live at the far side of the neighborhood, it adds only two minutes to go the speed limit. It’s worth it.

Fire Protection in Lakemoor Hills

by

Most residents of Lakemoor Hills are not City of Knoxville residents, do not pay city taxes, and therefore do NOT have fire protection unless they subscribe to the service that Rural Metro offers.  At our last homeowners’ meeting we learned that Rural Metro will respond to a fire in our neighborhood whether that family has subscribed to fire protection or not.  If you are a subscriber, the visit is free.  If you do not subscribe, the fee is $1,500 per truck per hour.  Multiple trucks are typically dispatched.  The average cost charged to the homeowner to put out a fire is $8,000.  If you do not subscribe to fire protection, then it is time to do it.  Don’t gamble on never having a visit from the fire department.  That is a costly mistake.  Here is a document that will give you information on their service.rural metro
