In an effort to improve the overall reliability and maintainability of its system (and to reposition the wires that are too close to the Davenport Rim condos that are under construction), Austin Energy will be undertaking a construction project along the lower part of Waymaker Drive.
The project is scheduled to begin in late May, 2006 and should be completed by early October, 2006. The project will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will consist of setting a permanent pole at the lower end of Waymaker (near the Riva Ridge intersection) and setting a temporary pole at the corner of the Davenport Rim private drive. The wires running parallel with Waymaker close to the condos will be removed; being replaced by new wires running overhead to the permanent pole, underground from the permanent pole to the temporary pole, and overhead from the temporary pole to one of the existing poles at the lower side of the Davenport Rim private drive. The second phase of the project will involve continuing the underground portion of the installation across the Davenport Rim private drive. This will result in removal of the temporary pole; removal of both of the existing poles on the lower end of the Davenport Rim private drive; and removal of one of the two poles on the upper side of the Davenport Rim private drive.
As part of this project, Austin Energy has agreed to replace the existing Bradford pear trees on the south side of Waymaker (where they will be working) and replacing those trees with Texas live oak trees. In order to ensure landscaping consistency, the Davenport Ranch Master Association will discuss replacing the other Bradford pear trees on the south side of Waymaker with Texas live oak trees at the same time.
Pets bring a lot more than love into your home.If you’ve got a pet, you already know you’re living with pet dander, pet hair, allergens, pollen and whatever else they bring in – unless you’re using The Maids. Our unique Back Pack Vacs with HEPA filtration can capture up to 99% of all that and more. And they also reach places like deep under beds where cats and dogs love to hang out. So if you have pets (or even if you don’t), give us a try. We think you’ll love having us in your home, too.
