FYI NO GRAND LAKES ELECTRONICS 

RECYCLING DRIVE THIS APRIL 

Neighbors, please note that this year there will not be a Grand Lakes electronics 

recycling drive coinciding with the spring garage sales. Over the past three springs, 

the number of pounds of electronics collected at the event has declined, likely due 

to the success of past drives, the shrinking size of electronics and the introduction 

of the Simple Recycling service to our neighborhood. At the same time, the cost of 

the event is increasing due to domestic processing of materials. These two factors 

combined have prompted movement toward an every-other-year approach. 

In the meantime, if you have any electronics you need to recycle, we recommend 

Best Buy and the Fort Bend Recycling Center (1200 Blume Road, Rosenberg, TX 

77471). Both have web pages listing what they accept and any associated fees. 

For those interested, here is a graph depicting statistics for the last three years. The 

2020 projected cost estimate is based on collecting the same poundage as last year.

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM 

WHY DO I 

NEED FLOOD 

INSURANCE? 

As written in the February 2020 edition of Grand Lakes, 

the “Official Newsletter of Grand Lakes” (p.5), “The major 

responsibilities of the Association [GLCA] are to protect the 

investment and enhance the value of the property owned by 

its members, the homeowners.” We are approaching another 

Rainy Season (recall the floods of Tax Day 2016 and Memorial 

Day 2017 occurred prior to the onset of Hurricane Season 

on June 1 st ), so I write to express my continued concern 

for flooding in our subdivision and to urge our Grand Lakes 

Community Association (GLCA) to act in every way possible to 

mitigate this single greatest threat to our property values. 

On October 9, 2017, the first meeting of the GLCA to be held 

following Hurricane Harvey, David Corbin, PE, of Costello, 

Inc. civil engineering, reported on behalf of Grand Lakes 

Municipal Utility District (MUD) No. 4 and the Water Control 

and Improvement District (WCID) the following estimate of 

homes flooded (

HurricaneHarveyLawsuitHelp.com 


Business Journal www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/08/27/texas-sellers-must-disclosepropertys-flood-risk.html, 

however requires owners to disclose when selling that their parcel is 

located within the flood pool of the reservoir. Many homeowners share concerns that this new 

law will make it difficult to sell their property. 

As the Community Impact article points out (p. 26 column 3 top) the USACE “has no plan to 

change the operation of the reservoirs,” i.e., closing the dam gates to impound water. 

Regardless of this or court ruling or future decisions on damages to be awarded plaintiffs, the 

threat of flooding to a large portion of Grand lakes will remain. I call upon the GLCA Board to 

ignore the reality of this situation no longer. I believe it is incumbent on the Board to take an 

active role in informing the GL residents of the risk and the steps available to mitigate it. 

Chief among these steps is for homeowners and renters alike to obtain coverage via the 

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) www.floodsmart.gov/. This is a link to information fact 

sheets about the http://bit.ly/2IsT0sl-FEMAFactSheet. Also, a brochure outlining the “Benefits 

of Flood Insurance versus Disaster Relief,” https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726- 

1643-20490-9801/f_217_benefits_30nov2012_web.pdf and other literature that can be used in 

conjunction with local government agencies to set up community outreach project to get all of 

Grand Lakes acquainted with the NFIP and what else is being done to ensure the “health, safety 

and welfare of the residents and Owners” from this threat. (Article written by Jonathan Jee a 

Grand Lakes Resident)

GRAND LAKES BUSINESS 

OWNER SPOTLIGHT 

Same as many of my Grand Lakes neighbors, 

the oil and gas industry brought me here 

to this beautiful community more than 12 

years ago. I was relocated from Mexico City 

in 2009. At the time, my wife Leticia and I 

decided to get a fresh start and move away 

from our home, with illusions and dreams. 

Fortunately, life was generous enough to 

give us two wonderful kids named Maria and 

Daniel, great friends and a great business. 

Jobs may come to an end, but we try again 

and they turn into a new adventure/project. After many years of working for Corporate America, 

Leticia and I decided to start our own company, so we launched a highly convenient mobile car 

wash service. We noticed that people in Katy wanted to spend more time with their families 

but can’t because they’re too busy. There are some necessities to take care of like cleaning our 

cars, but unfortunately, time is limited. Available car washes around the area take time out of 

our day to get there, plus the waiting time to get our car cleaned, especially on Sunday. We 

have an advantage because we come directly to you. We wash your car in your driveway, at 

your office, etc. Pretty convenient isn’t it? We introduced a new way to wash cars with our small, 

independent and fully equipped vehicles. We are able to wash 1-50 cars in the same location 

using only 3 gallons of water, very eco-friendly. 

Of course, opening a business is not easy. In fact, 

it is extremely complicated and 50% of new small 

businesses shut down before finishing their first 

year of operating. Hard work and a positive mind 

are necessary all the time even though the results 

may not be as positive. My home is located in 

phase three which got flooded during Hurricane 

Harvey. It was dark time for us not only because the 

business was seriously affected, we lost customers, 

employees, equipment, but also, our home was 

flooded. We were evacuated and stayed with two 

great friends for two months before returning 

home. For many months, we stayed upstairs while 

rebuilding our home step by step. One of the main 

reasons we love the Grand Lakes community is 

because of the solidarity that we received from the 

entire neighborhood and volunteers, there will 

always be a special place for them in our hearts! 

In the car wash industry, we say that after a storm 

comes the shiny sun. After many terrible months, 

we restored our business, increased the number 

of customers and daily operations. Our customers 

recognized our service and we were named “The 

Best Car Wash in Katy in 2019” by the Katy Times. 

We are very thankful and proud of that. Last year we 

decided to expand the line of cleaning services. We 

incorporated all the services that all homeowners 

normally use with multiple providers, so we are 

not only able to clean your car but also your house, 

your carpets, your windows, pest control, power 

wash, gardening and even groom your pet(s). We 

offer multiple services under one roof with one 

single point of contact. 

We love our community so much. We would love 

to hear more about other local business owners.

vehicles and an anti-aircraft gun mount from the Battleship Texas. Local
