Helpful Municipal Hints

---

Crime statistics show that Wildwood at Oakcrest is one of the safest areas of greater Houston; however, in the event of a crime make sure you report it to Harris County Precinct 4 because crime reports determine the amount of neighborhood patrols.
Emergency: 911

Non-emergency: 281-376-3472

To protect association assets, there are security cameras at the clubhouse, splash pad, and entrance to the gated section.

You may use the TownSquare Report a Community Problem online form or contact Inframark Customer Care by e-mail at CustomerCare@inframark.com; through live chat at www.inframarkims.com; or by phone at (281) 870-0585, for general phone inquiries. Inframark Customer Care is available Monday-Friday from 7 AM-6 PM, excluding holidays. 

Owners access the Splash Pad using a code that owners whose accounts are in good standing can obtain from Inframark. There is a timer on the system that allows it to be activated each day from 9:00 am until 8:00 pm only. To operate the system: press the silver button (located on the fence next to the gate on the inside of the splash pad area) and HOLD for 3 SECONDS and then release. BE PATIENT – it takes a few seconds for the water to start flowing! PLEASE DO NOT KEEP PUSHING ON THE BUTTON. Once activated, the Splash Pad runs for 16 minutes and then automatically shuts off. It can be restarted for additional 16-minute intervals.  

Owners whose accounts are in good standing use their fobs to access the pool (gate near clubhouse entrance). Owners without fobs can fill out a form (available via TownSquare) and make payment ($50 per fob) at the Inframark office or mail the form to 2002 W Grand Parkway N, Suite 100, Katy, TX 77449. Inframark will mail the fobs to the owner.

A fishing license is not required for catch-and-release fishing on the community amenity detention lakes. Fishing is limited to residents and their guests, not the general public.

Many residents have noted that refrigerators, disposals, or dishwashers were causing their circuit breakers to trip. In most cases, there was nothing wrong with any of these appliances. The problem has been with faulty GFCI circuit breakers from the original Lennar installation. Eaton 20-amp replacement breakers are available at Elliot Electric Supply in Tomball (see link), Amazon.com (see link), or Lowes.com (see link).

When repainting a home using its original colors, an Architectural Review Committee request is not required. Each homeowner's Purchase Price and Payment Addendum document from the homebuilder specifies all of the options for the home, including garage door, trim, and siding paint colors. The homebuilders used Sherwin-Williams SWxxxx paints where SW is the professional contractor code. Homeowners can obtain consumer paint using the color name such as Foothills, Portico, or New Ebony. The homebuilder document should include the SW paint number and the paint name. The interior paint colors (e.g., Repose Gray Flat, Extra White Flat, Extra White Semigloss) for walls, ceilings, and trim should also be in the document. For homeowners without the document, by bringing a sample to the paint store (Tomball location), Sherwin-Williams can do a color match.

As part of obtaining Architectural Review Committee approval for constructing home additions or backyard sheds, new shingles must match the existing shingles of the home. Each homeowner's Purchase Price and Payment Addendum document from the homebuilder specifies all of the options for the home, including shingles. Many homes have Timberline Weathered Wood Shingles that are available at Home Depot.

To have house numbers with designs painted on the curbs in front of homes, some homeowners have texted one of two local providers:

P&C Curb Appeal 225-936-0788

Vivian 281-460-1683

Hayden 832-506-1010

Many patriotic residents take advantage of two groups that distribute American flags for US holidays. For a small donation to these charities, high school volunteers install flags in front of homes before designated holidays and retrieve them after each holiday. The service is provided for one calendar year.

Boy Scouts of America Troop 293/1293 $45

Tomball Memorial High School Choir $50

Homeowners have reported clogged dishwashers with water standing in the bottom of their dishwasher. Most dishwashers have a filter that can be removed and cleaned to remedy the problem. Homeowners can google the make/model of their dishwasher for instructions as to how to remove, clean, and put the filter back in. If that does not correct the issue, EPW Plumbing Services is owned by homeowners in our community.

Wildwood at Oakcrest has two community garage sales, coincident with community-wide garage sales in Hayden Lakes.

The interior recessed lights that appear to be can lights are actually LEDs. Some owners have replaced faulty lights with Sea Gull Traverse Lights 3000K available at Home Depot or Amazon.

Some owners have added FEIT Electric LED strands as outdoor accent lighting for patios. 

When cleaning windows on Lenner homes there is a simple six-step process for removing the window screens. 

Many Lennar homes came with built-in Ruckus Unleashed mesh networks that homeowners can manage themselves.
