The Board has fielded several complaints about water trucks constantly being on Hayden Lakes Dr to refill for the construction going on across Boudreaux. After discussion with the contractor and MUD5, we have arrived at several conclusions. The trucks are following proper protocol. They have the right meters, and the work site has not yet been approved to turn on water.The construction site falls within MUD5, so the hydrants down Shaw, Northpointe, or towards 249 on Boudreaux are not...

A HeartSine Samaritan 350P defibrillator was purchased for the pool pavilion. It is hanging on the pavilion wall facing the pool near the water fountains and will be available anytime the pool is open. We encourage residents to watch this video and to familiarize themselves with the location. If you witness anyone tampering with the AED in a non-emergency situation, please let us know immediately.

Several weeks back, the Board sent out a call to action with request for more volunteers to lighten the load on the Social Committee. There was only one respondent to that call. As such, the Memorial Day Pool Party was not planned and will not occur. The Board feels events are a great way to build and maintain fellowship in the community, but without your support, events will be cut drastically. We appreciate your understanding, and if you have any inclination to volunteer in planning, set up,...

To all neighbors of Hayden Lakes, We held an open Board meeting last Wednesday and appreciate the participation of several residents. Below is a summary of what was discussed as well as a few additional items. Landscaping      Most of the crepe myrtles at the entrance as well as the roses at the roundabout and in front of the pool have died. Neither was due to the summer heat and drought. The crepe myrtles were significantly damaged during the early freeze and we gave them...

As we near the end of Winter, and Spring blooms are around the corner, it is almost time for the pool to be open for those members who have a Swim at your own risk form on file.

If you need to complete a form, please download one from the website at haydenlakes.org and email the address listed on the form.

The Board is happy with our current vendors’ professionalism, communication, and quality and has decided to retain them through the 2023 calendar year. To date, landscaping and property management contracts have been executed. Landscaping had no price increase but included a potential fuel surcharge that is being accounted for in the preliminary 2023 budget. Property management had <$100 price increase/month.Both contracts have been reworked to last through 2023 to align with budgeting...

As many of you noticed, the middle fountain of lake two was down for some time. It is now repaired. Although the malfunction was attributed to the nutria, further inquiry showed that the motor was tangled in tons of fishing line. The bill to repair it was several thousand dollars. To all fishermen, please take care in casting near the fountains.Now that the nutria found our lakes, it’s likely their presence will be ongoing. For a few reasons, the Board’s new position is to wait and see how to...
