Our Waste Collection Service is contracted by our PUD and serviced by Texas Pride Disposal.
Collection days: Tuesdays and Fridays
Please note: We have “Backdoor Service” which means our garbage and recycling cans should be visible ONLY on collection days and remain at our backdoor/gate area.
Yard and Bulk waste should be placed at the curb (not on the street) no earlier than the evening before collection.
If you use a lawn care service, ensure that they do not leave your yard waste at the curb unless it will be collected that same day. Please also ensure that waste is not blown into the street where it can block street drainage. The only thing that should enter street drains is water.
Thank you for keeping Champion Forest tidy!
Ongoing work:
If you witness or are the victim of a crime, please call on law enforcement immediately and give them all the information you have. Remind them to check the Flock Safety camera data and ask that they give you a follow up report in a timely manner.
Monarch Landscape Management: Tree care continues along with regular grounds maintenance. In spring we will see repairs of dormant irrigation along with some new plantings. When you see the Monarch workers out in our community in their trademark orange vests, please give them a wave.
The Wall Committee: Repairs have been completed on a section of community wall behind Chasewood Bank. Inspection of that wall section has been completed and more repairs have been proposed and approved. Residents have been asked to remove foliage from the wall. Wall inspections will continue this month with ongoing assessment of the inside of the wall as well as the community facing side. If you live along the wall be aware that we will do our best to contact you before we visit. Plans are being made for repairs and maintenance.
Wall Care: We need every resident who has the direct benefit of our brick walls to care for the walls by keeping their trees and foliage from growing against and over the walls. These practices will help us protect and prolong the life of our walls and prevent avoidable damage to these valuable community assets. Be aware; owners are responsible for their and their guests’ and tenants’ damage to the Association’s common property.
Architectural Control Committee: Planning to update your property? ALL exterior improvements require ACC approval. Be assured, most applications are able to be processed virtually and quickly and the committee will work with you if amendments to your application are needed.
Please see the: Architectural Control page for full guidelines and application forms.

Cypress Forest PUD: For your safety and enjoyment please read the rules that govern the use of Cypress Forest Public Utility District’s park properties and facilities by members of the public – Cypress Forest Park and Facilities Rules
Motorized vehicles are not permitted in the PUD park.
All the PUD-owned land, previously leased with restrictions to the former Raveneaux Country Club (Agreements 2008 & 2011), has reverted to the PUD for its control and preservation. The PUD has within its budget funds for the maintenance of the land tract/park. Discussions are continuing regarding the use of the land and working towards a win-win for all parties. Read more about the land here.
Work will begin on water plant #1 and the water tower on Herts Rd early this year. The inside of the tower will be restored, and the exterior will be cleaned and repainted.
NHCRWA water fee will NOT increase in 2022.
HCFCD:
All HCFCD Community Engagement Meetings are being held virtually due to coronavirus concerns. For updates – see the: Harris County Flood Control District ~ Cypress Creek Watershed website page here. The demolition continues on the former Raveneaux Country Club site, that HCFCD purchased in 2020. The land will be re-sodded and the Cypresswood frontage will be planted with trees. For safety reasons, the Flood Control District continues to ask that the public stay away from the site. Read more details here from HCFCD.
Read the December 2021 Community Impact news update here and the HCFCD Update of Dec 27th 2021 which states all amenities on the land will be removed and trees will be planted along Cypresswood.
