Houston c
ontinues to experience an unprecedented heatwave and the City of Houston (COH) and ERCOT are requesting homeowners to reduce water and electricity consumption.  Your cooperation can make a difference in ensuring that essential resources remain available to all.

Stage 2 restrictions of the COH's Drought Contingency Plan include:

  • Even-numbered street addresses can water on Sundays starting at 7 pm, ending on Monday at 5 am; and Thursdays starting at 7:00 p.m., ending on Friday at 5 a.m.
  • Odd-numbered street addresses can water on Saturday starting at 7 pm, ending on Sunday at 5 am; and Wednesday starting at 7 pm, ending Thursday at 5 am.
  • Tuesdays and Fridays for all other customers
  • Any outdoor water use that drains onto adjacent properties or public or private roadways or streets or gutters is prohibited.

Violating these watering restrictions can lead to a written warning for a first-time violation. Any subsequent violations are subject to a fine of up to $2,000 for each occurrence of the offense (Section 54.001 of the Texas Local Government Code).

Conserve Electricity

When the stability of Texas’ power grid is threatened, ERCOT asks homeowners to reduce electricity usage as the first step to avoid blackouts.  Due to high demand, CenterPoint is sending notices to homeowners to conserve electricity during peak periods of 3:00/4:00 pm to 9:00 pm,


Dues Increase
During the May 17th Board Meeting, the members of the board voted to increase the annual 2024 ROCA dues from $45.00 to $55.00 (as stated in the ROCA Deed Restrictions Article II, Item III.4).  This increase marks the first dues amount increase in eight years, with the previous increase occurring in 2016.  The purpose of this increase is to generate additional funds for various neighborhood improvements, including the installation of new esplanade markers and lighting, operational needs along with implementing other enhancements.  If you should have any questions or concerns, please contact the Board at [email protected].
