Water Usage and Your Bill
Garbage and drainage fees are fixed rates, and your sewer rate is fixed based on your winter averaging.
Now water usage is another animal and it can change rapidly if filling a pool or irrigating. So on that note, do you have someone that sets the sprinkler settings to your liking? Does your better half set the settings? You want to be certain it’s set exactly how you want it set, right? Want to know how much water is actually being used? Create a login at EyeOnWater. It’s an indispensable tool you’re going to love! Go to www.highlandvillage.org/EyeOnWater. Once you’re in you’ll be able to monitor your homes water usage down to the hour! How crazy is that? Having difficulties give us a shout, we’ll be happy to help.
Questions about your water bill, water/sewer rates, bank drafting, online bill pay, disconnecting services you can find the answers on the Utility Billing page on our website or, of course, you can phone us anytime at 972-899-5090.
Remember this one thing, “Don’t let the water control you, you control the water!”

Highland Village is 60!
We are commemorating our 60th anniversary throughout the year with several different campaigns. First, the City is asking the community to share any photos you have from the last 60 years that tell Highland Village’s story. We have received some awesome photos of families enjoying Highland Village and would love to see yours! If you have photos you would like to share, please send them to info@highlandvillage.org and include your name, approximately when the photo was taken and a little something about the picture. We will share these photos throughout the year via social media and other outlets. We’re also sharing 60 facts about Highland Village throughout the year and Mayor Jaworski will post a monthly video with some historical facts and fun trivia. We are proud of the community Highland Village has grown into and believe our founding fathers would be as well. Let’s have some fun commemorating 60 years of Highland Village and, who knows, we all might learn some things about this city we call home.

Summer is right around the corner and your backyard pool promises endless summer fun. Pools can be an easy way to keep your kids entertained for hours but it also poses a risk of drowning. Here are steps you can follow to prevent a tragic accident from happening.
- Never leave a child unattended in or near water. Even if a lifeguard is present, parents and caregivers should still act as a designated “water watcher”.
- Teach children how to swim. Enroll your child in swimming lessons at your local YMCA or Parks and Recreation Department.
- Teach children to stay away from pool drains. Children’s hair, limbs, or bathing suits can get stuck in a drain or suction opening so make sure you know where the emergency vacuum shut off is located.
- Install proper barriers, covers, and alarms around your pool and spa. The water should only be accessible through a self-closing, self-latching gate.
- Know how to perform CPR on children and adults. HVFD offers CPR/AED courses so sign up by visiting https://tinyurl.com/2021CPRandAED
- Enjoy your summer safely and create memories to last a lifetime.

A Quality Neighborhood Starts with You
The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for maintaining Highland Village as a safe, clean, and livable city. Code Enforcement Officers routinely patrol neighborhoods for code violations and investigate complaints, with a mission to educate residents and eliminate conditions that threaten the life, health, safety, and general welfare of the public. Here are tree and shrub guidelines to ensure safe travel for vehicles and pedestrians, along with a few common code violations.
| | |
|
- Overgrown trees and shrubs endanger us all when they obstruct the path of vehicles and pedestrians, as well as the view of traffic signs, bicyclists, and other drivers on the road. It is the responsibility of the property owner to trim back the vegetation. Branches in the red in the diagram to the right must be removed.
- Siding, shingles, and other exterior parts must be in good repair.
- Vehicles must be registered and operable, and must be parked on a paved surface.
- Pools must be maintained and enclosed with self-latching gates. Drainage of pools must be confined to the property upon which the pool is located.
- No untended grass or weeds in excess of 12”
- No signs in public right of way.
- Trash and debris are prohibited from being left in the yard and must be disposed of properly.
