Dear Spring Valley Village Residents,

It is our goal at the Spring Valley Village Police Department to always ensure the safest environment possible for our residents and visitors. On Halloween, we will be restricting motor vehicle traffic into the residential area East of Bingle Rd. Only residents and resident visitors will be allowed access into Brighton Place from 4:30 pm until the trick-or-treaters reduce to a safe volume for thru traffic. We will have Officers staged at the entering roadways who will request the address being accessed by either the resident or visitor. We believe that this will greatly reduce the possibility of an automobile/pedestrian accident from occurring. We will also have Officers staged and patrolling other areas of Spring Valley and Hilshire Village during this busy time. We appreciate your ongoing support and partnership!

Dear Spring Valley Village Residents,
On Monday, October 17, 2022, the City of Spring Valley issued one (1) Right-of-Way Permit to CenterPoint Energy Texas Gas Operations and sub-contractor M.J. Sheridan for the replacement and relocation of gas facilities on Burkhart Road (East of Bingle). This work is necessary as the existing gas facilities conflict with the proposed utilities and pavement improvements project scheduled for Burkhart Road (East of Bingle).
In the next few weeks, CenterPoint will be requesting line locates. The right-of-way work is anticipated to begin the first week of November 2022 and is expected to take 90 days. Prior to beginning, CenterPoint will mail a letter to residents as well as place door hangers on the front doors of any affected residents on Burkhart Road (East of Bingle) with information such as construction start date, potential lane closures, and important contacts. CenterPoint is aware that this work will be done during the holiday season and will do what it can to minimize the impact to the affected residents.
CenterPoint has coordinated with the school district on any potential impacts to bus stops and has been advised that school bus routes will not be affected by the upcoming work.

The City was notified within the last hour that next week, beginning at 9:00 am on Monday, October 3, 2022, there will be a major construction project occurring on Voss Road between Memorial Drive and Beinhorn Road. Northbound Voss Road traffic will be diverted into the Southbound lanes at Jaycee Lane and return to the northbound lanes at Hunters Forest Drive.

Motorists may want to avoid this area and possible delays during the times of the construction project. Memorial Villages Police Department will be monitoring the area for the safety of the workers as they install new barriers to protect the sound walls that continue to be hit by motorists.

The Spring Valley Village Police Department would like to remind the residents of this great community to be aware of your surrounding and immediately report any suspicious activity that is observed.

We ask that all residents be sure to LOCK their vehicles and take the keys with them. This would substantially reduce the threat of theft involving a motor vehicle from occurring. Most of these types of crimes being committed in our area involve packages being readily visible, unlocked vehicles, or the keys being left inside. Our Officers will continue to vigorously patrol our community and greatly appreciate your help and overwhelming support.

Dear Resident,
As part of the Spring Valley Village Capital Improvement Program, the streets within Brighton Place neighborhood are scheduled for re-construction to replace aging infrastructure and keep Spring Valley Village sustainable and viable. This project will require installation and construction of new pavement, underground storm sewers, and new water and wastewater lines.
The engineer selected by City Council for design of this project is CobbFendley. Although the City is currently in the pre-design phase, you may be seeing paint markings, survey crews, and a geotechnical team on your street in the next couple of weeks. The paint marking and flags you may see are required to mark the underground utilities so the survey crews can identify and accurately locate the utilities on the design plans. It is anticipated that the survey and geotechnical crews will be able to complete their work in a few days and the preliminary completion date of work in the field is September 27.
The City will continue to provide you with updates as the project progresses. Should you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 713-465-8308.

09/15/2022

Campaign season is shifting into high gear and with that comes rising number of political signs that you may begin to see throughout the City. When this begins, we receive requests and questions regarding the removal of said signs. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

The City may remove political signs from the public rights-of-way at any time, but the City’s ability to remove political signs from private property is greatly restricted by State law.
Pursuant to Section 259.003 of the Texas Elections Code, the City may not prohibit political signs from being placed on private property. Additionally, the City cannot place any restrictions on how long political signs may be posted. The City may only enforce State law regulations on political signs that:
(1) exceed an effective area of 36 feet
(2) are more than 8 feet in height
(3) are illuminated; or
(4) have any moving elements.

So, as long as political signs are on private property with the consent of the property owner and do not exceed the above size and elements, the City is prohibited from requiring the removal of political signs from private property – regardless of how long they may be erected.

The City realizes that many consider political signs unsightly. However, political signs are protected to a great extent under State law, and the City must comply with those laws.

Dear Residents,

Chief Schulze was looped in by Capitol Police, DPS, and HPD, that US Representatives Dan Crenshaw and Michael McCaul will hold a press conference tomorrow from

Dear Spring Valley Village Residents,
The City has been in contact with CenterPoint regarding residents’ tree trimming and power outage concerns. CenterPoint informed us that they inspect and maintain transmission rights-of-way and transmission line vegetation growth on a five-year cycle, meaning 20 percent of circuits/lines have trees removed or trimmed annually.
If you believe your tree is too close to power lines and may be causing service interruptions, you may contact CenterPoint directly at 713-207-2222 or 1-800-332-7143. A representative from CenterPoint will inspect the tree to determine if it requires trimming. If the tree does not create an obvious hazard or service reliability problem, CenterPoint may defer maintenance until area-wide trimming is done in the future.
The City of Spring Valley Village cannot request tree trimming on behalf of residents and has no control over CenterPoint’s tree trimming schedule.

The City of Spring Valley Village continues to ask Spring Valley Village residents, businesses, and HOAs for their cooperation in reducing their water consumption.

As a reminder, water customers are requested to voluntarily limit the irrigation of landscaped areas UP TO 2 days per week. Sunday and Thursdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number (0,2,4,6,8 ) and Saturdays and Wednesdays for customers with a street address ending in an odd number (1,3,5,7,9), and to irrigate only between the hours of 8:00p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on designated watering days.

For residents, businesses, and HOAs who are reading this and have yet to slow their water consumption, please do so immediately for the greater good of the Spring Valley Village community.

We must stay focused to conserve as drought conditions and the heat continue.

Dear Spring Valley Village residents,

Mickie Services and our Public Works crew are still working on concrete pouring at Campbell Road and Bace Drive. Campbell Road will continue to have a one-lane closure at Bace Drive until tomorrow afternoon when the work is expected to be completed. Please keep this work in mind as you make travel plans.

07/18/2022

Dear Spring Valley Village residents,
The emergency repair on the 16” water transmission line at Bace Drive and Campbell Road was completed over the weekend. Mickie Services and our Public Works crew are on site today to start rebaring and preparing for concrete pouring. The next steps will be to restore service to the water line. This process will require flushing three fire hydrants on Green Valley Drive, Teresa Drive, and Bace Drive for extended periods of time, so you will see water coming out of those three fire hydrants.

Following the flushing, a water sample will be collected for testing. If the sample result does not meet the required standards, flushing of the three fire hydrants may need to be completed again and another sample will need to be collected. While the process to restore a line of this size may take several hours, residents should not experience any impacts to their water. The one-lane closure at Campbell Road will remain until the concrete is poured back. Please keep this work in mind as you make travel plans.

07/13/2022

Dear Spring Valley Village resident(s),
Please be advised there has been a water main break at Bace Drive and Campbell Road. Crews have closed valves to isolate the break. Mickie Services will be working to repair the break over the next 24 hours. Customers in the immediate area may experience low water pressure and water discoloration as the repair work is being done. Traffic control measures including a one-lane closure on Campbell Road will be in place for the duration of the repairs. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to please use caution when traveling through the affected area.

Dear Spring Valley Village Resident(s):

Effective today, Wednesday, June 22, 2022, the City of Spring Valley Village has entered Stage One – MILD Water Shortage Conditions of the City’s Drought Contingency Plan (“Plan”). The City’s Plan Stage One requirements for initiation are:

• Average daily water usage reaches 1.3 million gallons per day for three (3) consecutive days (70% of plant capacity); or
• The City of Houston initiates voluntary water restrictions demand or capacity based triggers.
As of today, both of the requirements above have been triggered. The City’s Stage One Drought Response calls for a number of voluntary water use restrictions for reducing demand. The goal is to achieve a 5% reduction in total water usage.

Stage One of the plan may be rescinded when all of the conditions listed as triggering events have ceased to exist for a period of fourteen (14) consecutive days or if the city determines termination is appropriate and a recurrence of the trigger conditions is unlikely to occur.

Stage One Drought Response calls for the following voluntary water use restrictions for reducing demand:

(a) Water customers are requested to voluntarily limit the irrigation of landscaped areas to Sundays and Thursdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 ), and Saturdays and Wednesdays for water customers with a street address ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9), and to irrigate landscapes only between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to midnight on designated watering days.

(b) All operations of the city shall adhere to water use restrictions prescribed for stage 1 of the plan.

(c) Water customers are requested to practice water conservation and to minimize or discontinue water use for non-essential purposes.

(d) All customers will be notified by placing a notice on the city's website and electronic media and other means identified necessary.

Water customers are also reminded to continue everyday efforts to prevent the loss of water:

• Check and repair water leaks, including dripping faucets & running toilets
• Check sprinkler heads to make sure water is not spraying into the street or directly into a storm drain and/or gutters

Please visit the city's website at www.springvalleytx.com to access the City of Spring Valley Drought Contingency Plan.

Dear Spring Valley Village Resident(s),

The City of Spring Valley Village has contracted Texas Hydrant Services to conduct a city-wide flow testing and inspection on approximately 200 units starting on Monday, June 13 through Friday, June 17.
The process is critical to the overall maintenance of the City’s water distribution system. Flowing the fire hydrants assists with the flushing process and helps to remove corrosion, scale and sediment that build throughout the year. These tests are generally known as fire flow tests because the highest demands of the water system occur when fighting fire. During the flushing program, hydrants may flow for several minutes.
Residents should be aware there may be a temporary drop in water pressure during testing, and discolored water may result following the flow tests. Both of these issues are temporary and should clear up quickly. The City of Spring Valley Village apologizes for any inconvenience the testing may cause but reminds the public this service is necessary to ensure the safety of Spring Valley Village residents and visitors.

Update on Bingle Road Road Diet:

Dear Spring Valley Village Resident,
On October 18, 2021, the City sent out a notice that there would be changes to the traffic patterns on Bingle Road to implement a “Road Diet”. Spring Valley Village is coordinating with the City of Houston to do both the Spring Valley Village and City of Houston portions of the project concurrently to mitigate long-term inconvenience and traffic issues. The Road Diet will result in one northbound lane, one southbound lane, and one continuous center turn lane.
Based on information received from City of Houston, the project start date was delayed several times. As of today, we still have not received a firm date from the City of Houston.
Please continue to watch for updates about the upcoming traffic pattern changes for Bingle Road. The City will continue to update residents as new information is received and once we have a firm date.
