A helpful hint:

if you should email our property management company (Pioneer), please put the word "Arbors" in your subject line -- ATTN: Jamie Cory

This management company has many more subdivisions as clients and identifying our subdivision up front will help in directing your note to the correct individual and better ensure a speedy reply.

Water softeners:

New homeowners should be aware that this area has very hard water...aqua water supplies out of the wilcox-carrizo aquifer and while the water is clean, it is hard enough to warrant a water softener.


The use of the softener will not only prevent mineral buildup in the pipes, but prevent the same mineral damage in various appliances that use water: ice makers, coffee makers, dishwashers, washing machines, toilets, etc.

Also, For those individuals that must monitor their salt intake, a potassium system will work just as well...and will not impact the septic system.

For more information on water hardness visit the usgs.gov site... Here is the "water Hardness" Map
