REMINDER: Happy Hour is THIS FRIDAY 5 PM at Legacy Park

by

Hey Friends!

This month we are celebrating “Neighbors Helping Neighbors”. Our recent August storms brought extensive damage to the neighborhood. Many folks volunteered their time, vehicles, equipment and efforts to assist others.

Happy Hour would like to say a huge “THANK YOU” and recognize the awesome folks who help make Lakemoor Hills the special place it is.

This month will be a POT LUCK. Happy Hour will provide appetizers and the Cocktail of the Month. Please bring a dish to share.

Head of our Emergency Response Team (ERT), Bob Proctor, will speak about the value of a “Connected Community”, the ERT, and the important contribution of everyone (ERT member or not), who helped cleanup and assist neighbors after the August storm.

See you at Happy Hour!

SEPTEMBER HAPPY HOUR – NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS

by

September 15, 2023 will be the date of our next Happy Hour at Lakemoor Legacy Park & Garden. We want to celebrate those people who stepped out and helped their neighbors recover from the windstorm that blew through here in August. Our Emergency Response Team took action and many others throughout the neighborhood did the same, clearing driveways, creating passages through downed trees in the streets and moving debris. Come share your stories. Come let us recognize all of you that helped so much.

Please bring a dish to share with others and if you have an overabundance of produce from your garden, bring it and share with a neighbor or two. Bring a lawn chair. Bring your kiddos. Bring a beverage.

See you at 5 PM, September 15 at Lakemoor Legacy Park and Garden.

Important Message from the LHHA President

by

Knox County Engineering and Public Works has informed us that for storm brush to be picked up in LH the following needs to happen:

Anyone wanting this done MUST call the Knox County Engineering and Public Works Dept at #865-215-5800 by August, 30 to include their pickup on the list.

Any brush needs to be within 6 feet side of the road and any brush or logs can’t be over 6 feet in length.

They will only pick up brush/logs. If any trash or construction debris is included, it will not be picked up.

Brush/logs should not be near a fire hydrant or utility poles or lines.

There is not a timeline when this will be collected; but, hopefully by the end of September or a month after 8/30.

It doesn’t sound like Knox County or their contractor is going to ‘street to street’ picking up brush/logs from the storm damage. If you are not on their list, your brush/logs will probably not be collected.

Note: LHHA can’t guarantee that brush/logs will be picked up by the county, but this is what we have been told.

New Contract with Waste Connections

by

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”.
