General

Allied Waste will pick up bulk trash throughout Manor and ShadowGlen on Saturday,  March 13.  Items must be placed on the curb by 7:00 a.m.

Each residence will be allow a maximum of four cubic feet of trash or roughly the amount of four trash carts.  The acceptable items include appliances, brush, boxes, bags and bundles.  Brush and boards must be cut into lengths not longer than 4 feet.  Nails must be removed from any boards.  Other construction debris, dead animals, hazardous waste or stable matter are prohibited.  Place items away from mail boxes, electric lines, trees and vehicles.

In addition to old Manor, bulk items  will be picked up  in the following Manor subdivisions:  Belle Farms, Carriage Hills, Greenbury, Hamilton Point, and Wildhorse Creek.  Trash will also be picked up in  ShadowGlen which contracts its services through the city.

Barring weather complications, the east side of Boyce at Lexington will be closed on March 3rd and 4th to lower the intersection for drainage.  Concrete will replace pavement in that section and it will require about 24 hours to cure.

Initially the work was scheduled for the 2nd and 3rd, but the contractor notified the city late Friday that he would not begin work until Tuesday.

Manor City Hall will close today (2/23/10) at 1:30 p.m. and reopen tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m.  (Weather Permitting).  If you have any questions during that time please e-mail us at questions@cityofmanor.org.  Stay safe and enjoy the snow!

Manor was recently featured News 8 Austin story about ambulance service delays in our area. The story inaccurately stated that the City of Manor was responsible for providing ambulance services to its citizens. Unfortunately, in Travis County, ambulance services are handled solely by the county in conjunction with the City of Austin. If you have any further questions about this situation, please e-mail them to questions@cityofmanor.org.

There will be a regular City Council meeting this Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. An agenda is available by clicking here.

There are many stories currently circulating about the rattlesnake that was killed in Manor on 7/29/2009. Here are a few facts to set the record straight:

It was in the backyard of a house, and NOT inside.

It was killed with a 410 shotgun.

The snake had just consumed a full-grown rabbit.

We did not measure the snake but the Chief of Police (in the picture) is 6’1’’

If you have any questions about this incident, please contact the Manor Police Department at (512) 272-8177 or police@cityofmanor.org

From all the staff at the City of Manor, “Have a safe and happy Independence Day 2009!”
