TANGLWOOD LAKES | APRIL/MAY 2021
A look through the Rules and Regulations document reveals that our roadways are considered a significant community asset and roads, roadside ditches, and culvert preservation is a top priority. One of the responsibilities of the Public Works Committee includes our roadways, their long-term planning, and providing appropriate policy recommendations to the Board. Within Tanglwood Lakes there are almost 28 miles of roadways. As part of the Capital Reserve program, all roads are assigned a ‘lifespan’, heavy traffic (10 years repaving), moderate (15 years), and light (20 years). Through the years the Public Works Committee continually assesses the conditions and uses traffic flow volume assignments on these roads in order to develop long term plans for road repairs, re-paving, and ensure upkeep. The Public Works Committee also coordinates its plans and makes adjustments when Aqua Water Company’s digging schedule will impact our paving program.
In recent years TLCA and Aqua have agreed on a cost-sharing program for repaving following the completion of the Aqua Pipe Construction Project. This practice has resulted in a considerable savings for TLCA. Our annual budget uses the road maintenance long-term planning for future expense projections.
The 2021 schedule for repaving is currently under consideration in order to coordinate with the Aqua Water summer plans.
