NOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome CMR Homeowners to the new Cross Mountain Ranch Newsletter. In the upcoming months I will use this space to alert and inform you of News and Events that could affect our Homeowners Association and Quality of Living. I feel we are blessed to live in a community that is still hidden in the fast growing Northwestern part of Bexar County. New housing and commercial developments are just around the corner and over the next hill; all heading our way. We have a very active Board of Directors group that meets the 1st Tuesday of each month to discuss these and other issues. We need your ideas, solutions and assistance to insure Your Association continues to respond to issues that affect Cross Mountain Ranch. Regards, Steve Surratt President CMR HOA

cross mountain ranch Water And Cross Mountain Ranch Public Notice from the Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District
The Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District is advising all district residents of the EXTREME DROUGHT alert for Bexar County and the surrounding areas. The District is hereby declaring STAGE 1 water restrictions in compliance with our drought contingency plan. The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) which is an index of meteorological drought takes into account hydrologic factors such as precipitation, soil moisture, and evaporation. Current PDSI index reading for the TGR area is Extreme. This drought indicator can be viewed at: http://www.txwin.net/ Exceptional drought conditions in San Antonio and South Central Texas are expected to extend into the spring and summer. Rainfall deficit for 2008 was over 50% with measurable precipitation at only 13.76 inches. The Groundwater Conservation District encourages all water users to use water conservation measures in these dry times. A list is provided below: Water Conservation Measures 1. Limit water use to essential domestic activities.

2. Avoid the use of sprinklers and sprinkler systems. 3. Water plants/lawns with a hand held hose only. 4. Wash only full loads of dishes and laundry. 5. Fix any water leaks immediately. 6. Limit residential irrigation to once per week. 7. Buy a rain barrel or a cistern and collect the water from your gutters to water lawns and plants. 1,000 sq. ft. of roof will capture about 600 gallons of water from 1 inch of rain. 8. Sweep driveways and sidewalks with a broom or a leaf blower instead of hosing/spraying them off. 9. Avoid aesthetic water uses such as fountains and water gardens. As the year progresses the District will continue to provide the citizens of Bexar County with updates on drought conditions, educational information, and more information on water conservation.
