Neighborhood Property Thefts

Dear Residents of VOWS,

The recent increase in thefts of property from vehicles, garages and homes has been rampant in the metroplex. The surrounding communities have been hit hard as well.

Last week there was an article from a local news source that highlighted what a burglar looks for in a victim. I was surprised how much thought and preparation goes into these organized burglaries.

As the garage sale has passed, the influx of unfamiliar people decreases, especially after the bulk trash weekend, we should be able to discern better if there are suspicious or unusual activity near your homes. Do not hesitate to call 911 and report what you see. It does not have to be a crime for you to let the FWPD know something seems wrong. Let the professionals handle it. Observe, Report and watch your neighborhood vigilantly. Your eyes and feedback is just as important to us. The more report every little or big issue to the FWPD, the more they can use their skills and tools to protect us. Then as a whole the City can see there is more demand for more security and safety for our huge community.

The good news is the police have caught one thief and have four more suspects.

Thank you,

Phoebe De Muynck Saenz
VOWS Safety and Security Committee, Chair

City of Fort Worth News – Stage I Watering Restrictions Lifted

Dear VOWS Residents,
The Villages of Woodland Springs Homeonwers Association would like to pass along important news regarding the Stage I Watering Restrictions.

The City of Fort Worth has now lifted the Stage I Watering Restrictions as of Friday, May 4th, 2012.

Tarrant Regional Water District notified the city of its intent to lift the restrictions because water supply levels are at 97 percent.

Watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on any day with hose-end or automatic irrigation systems is still prohibited as part of the City of Fort Worth’s water conservation ordinance. Other conservation measures that remain in effect are prohibitions on the wasting of water by watering hard surfaces or allowing runoff down the street.

Residents and businesses are urged to be efficient with their outdoor watering and are reminded drought restrictions will return when lake levels reach 75 percent. Using drip irrigation, soaker hoses and hand watering are the most efficient methods. For information on efficient water use and ways to save water or to request a free irrigation system check-up, visit SaveFortWorthWater.org.

“It is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ we return to Stage 1,” said Mary Gugliuzza with the Fort Worth Water Department. ”It may be one year it may be four years. While we cannot control the amount of rainfall in our watershed, we can control how much we use and how much we stretch our supplies.”

Gugliuzza stressed that residents should use irrigation supplement rainfall only, and that lawns don’t need more than one inch of water every week to two weeks at this time of year.

The Stage 1 restrictions took effect Aug. 29 and this was the first time Fort Worth implemented water restrictions because of declining water supply levels.

Tree Trimming/House Cleaning Scam

ITEMS OF INTEREST – AWARENESS

Tree Trimming/House Cleaning Scam:  Be aware of a pair of burglars in a white Chevrolet Avalanche (or any vehicle/walking) distracting elderly homeowners looking for yard work.  One of the individuals approaches the home and distracts the homeowner with some sort of business deal, (tree trimming, house cleaning, etc…) and both go to look at the backyard.  When the homeowner is distracted is in the backyard, the other “burglar” will enter the house via the front door and burglarize it.  So far we are up to about 20 known offenses across the Metroplex, with a concentration on south Fort Worth. If you get a call like this, please call the Fort Worth Police Department non-emergency number immediately – 817-335-4222

A worthy place for all those left over Garage Sale Goodies!

If you are participating in the community garage sale this weekend (or even if you aren’t), there will be a truck from Operation Finally Home, an organization that builds mortgage-free homes for wounded and disabled veterans, at the Amenity Center parking lot from 1-3pm on Sat., the 5th and Sun., the 6th for you to drop off any items you wish to donate.
