Terramar Beach Community Sharing
We held our first Terramar
Community Sharing event Saturday December 14 at the Pepper Pavilion. Around 30
people donated clothing, baby items, toys, household items, and food to be
donated to Galveston's RCC - a resource center for women and children in need.
Special thanks to board members Wendy, Janice, Charlotte, and Craig and to
Linda for helping accept and organize the donations.
The
new FEMA maps are out!
The
below link is what the maps will look like effective August 15. See
directions below on how to use the link to determine where your flood map is.

FM 3005 Construction
Please be advised that
starting on around AUGUST 19th and continuing for approx. 2 years, TXDOT will
be raising FM 3005 to a finished elevation of 7.5 feet above sea level.
Depending on location, this means raising it an average of <24" above
existing grade. They will also be in regrading and removing silt, etc. in all
the roadside ditches along FM 3005 to relieve and improve drainage. In addition
they will be replacing failed culverts as needed. The project will start at the
west end of the seawall and continue to San Luis Pass. They plan to work on one
lane at a time so that no more than one lane in each direction is closed at any
given time.

Water Meter - Be Prepared
When
not using your home for an extended period it is prudent to turn off the water
to the home to prevent possible damage in case of a leak or burst pipe.
Owners are charged for any water that runs through a water meter, even if there
is a leak.
To prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane please
turn your water off at the meter. In a storm situation where
water is left on, the owner would be charged for the water. If there are
multiple homes with leaks due to damage, there could be low or no water
pressure for all homes.
Also in case of a storm please secure your garbage can and other loose object
around your home.
