The Lakewood HOA pool is scheduled to close from Aug. 18-20 while repairs are made to the pool deck.

Capital Concrete Coatings plans to bleach and pressure wash affected areas (and may need to pressure wash the entire job), remove loose coating, cut out poor mastic work by a previous contractor, texture, allow to dry, and apply two coats of color seal and feather in areas with an air brush. The crew also will tape, paper and mask off surrounding areas as needed, and clean up after completion.

And in other pool news:

• Between Thursday, June 26 and Friday, June 27, someone dumped a bottle of suntan lotion into the water, giving it a weird color although the chemistry of the pool was not affected. Also, someone went behind the wood fence enclosure and turned off all of the chlorinators, including the automation injection system. The pool was cleaned, the lock to the enclosure was changed, and the electrical panels are being locked for extra security. In the future, please post a REQUEST on TownSq if you see something that concerns you. And if you have any information about this vandalism, please call the HOA office at 512-345-8367. Our pool maintenance professional is at the pool three to four times a week to make sure the pool is clean and working properly.
• Remember to replace your entry fob if it doesn’t work. (Slide the fob down the contact spot on the right of the gate to enter.) Visit the HOA office from 8 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays to get a new one. There’s no charge. But if you lose your fob, the office will replace it for a $35 fee.
