Log Cabin to provide sanitation services to luxury Long Cove development on lake's southside




-- The Log Cabin City Council and the Lake View Management and Development District Board of Directors recently approved an agreement for the city to provide wastewater treatment services to Long Cove development.

The agreement will provide for the construction of a connection from the development’s waste water system to the city’s treatment plant. Upon approval and permitting by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality officials, construction will begin in 2016 and be completed in 2017, according to city and LVMDD officials.

City officials said Log Cabin’s treatment facility contains excess capacity, allowing the partnership to be formed. The city will realize new revenues as new households in the development are added to the system, and Long Cove residents will pay the same rate as city households for the service, they noted.

Long Cove officials said the development would benefit by not being responsible for its own treatment facility, and the project would help state officials meet their goal of consolidating treatment facilities. The development will pay all of the costs of the connection, and it will also pay for upgrades to the city’s facility.

Long Cove President Christopher Kelsey said the development is pleased to enter into the agreement because it will simplify the process. “While we will end up spending a similar amount to connect to Log Cabin as we would have to build our own facility, it is much better to connect to an existing facility that already has a great track record,” he said in a statement. “Starting your own plant always comes with challenges. This is a good deal for us and for Log Cabin.”

Log Cabin Mayor Larry Nolan called the agreement a “win-win” for both parties, and he noted city staff researched the proposal thoroughly before entering into it. “Long Cove was willing to address all of our questions and concerns,” he said. “The city ends up with upgrades to the plant that we wanted and will benefit in the long run from the new revenues coming from the additional connections to the system.”

Long Cove has sold 50 properties to date, all of which are now the site of new homes or ones in design or construction. Long Cove plans the construction of about 400 properties.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 20)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 62 degrees; 0.08 feet below pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have recently been staging in the creek arms to spawn these past few weeks. Fish are now coming back into the main lake in droves to recover from the spawn and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie bite has picked up in the creeks and inlets in 2-10 feet of water throughout the entire lake. We are now seeing the crappie migrate back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 4-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days.
