Highway 6 Monument Signs And Medians Landscaping
Many of you have inquired about why there are no plants at the monument signs. Within the last two years, TXDOT and AT&T came into the area to install sidewalks, fiber optic cable, traffic lights and other projects. The irrigation lines for the monument signs were all damaged, as they sit in a TXDOT easement. TXDOT and AT&T have more projects planned so we have to wait for their completion to repair irrigation and install new plant material. TXDOT has agreed to make repairs to the irrigation at the monuments along HWY 6, as well as assist in beautifying in the area in late summer. Everyone’s patience until then is appreciated. TXDOT has also agreed to update the medians on Hwy 6 adding grass and multi-colored Crape Myrtles.
Copperfield Community Center
The Copperfield Community Center was damaged during our February freeze. The CCA has a committee working on updating the community center and hope to have it opened by the first of 2022.

Vehicles And Fire Truck Clearance
The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is still requesting homeowners' assistance in addressing the low-hanging trees within the Copperfield Community. Low hanging limbs and branches are causing damage to the fire department's equipment and damage to the homeowners’ trees, hampering the response to emergency calls. Most of the fire department's equipment is 13 feet tall and therefore need a 14-foot clearance from trees that hang over the streets. Routes to locations have to be altered to avoid these areas and some areas have no alternate route; leaving no recourse but to park and walk to the locations.

Coyotes In Copperfield
Coyotes have been sighted in many of the subdivisions in the Copperfield area at night and before dawn. Please protect your pets. They should not be left unattended after dark, even in their own enclosed yard as coyotes can jump or scale a 6-7 ft fence.
