 Sewer charges for residential customers are based on a winter sewer verage
 The average water consumption used during the winter months of November 15 - February 15 each
 year determines your monthly sewer charge for the next twelve months. The end of sewer averaging is
 coming soon, but residents are reminded to try and keep water consumption as low as possible all year
 to avoid high summer bills. Should you have a water leak during the winter averaging period, you may
 request a Sewer Adjustment Form from the Utility Billing office. Forms must be received no later than
 May 1st for consideration. Please call (210) 681-1232 x 224 for more information.

Spring Large Item Waste Pickup
The 2021 Spring Large Item Waste Pick Up is slated for the week of March 1, 2021.
Items should be placed by the curb the week of February 22nd, so that Tiger Sanitation
is able to estimate the number and type of vehicles/equipment needed to remove the
items. Each resident is allowed to place a pile of 8 cubic yards or less out by the
curb, being careful not to block sidewalks or meters. Postcards will be sent to each
home in advance of the pickup as a reminder. Commercial tree trimmers are not
allowed to place tree trimmings at the curb for the pickup, unless prior arrangements
have been made by the property owner with Tiger Sanitation. There is a charge for
piles over 8 cubic yards, so residents wishing to take advantage of that type of service
are advised to contact Tiger Sanitation at (210) 333-4287 to make those
arrangements, prior to this event. Residents may also call Tiger Sanitation at any time
of year for special pickups. Please see their website for charges for their services. For
questions regarding the 2021 Spring Large Item Pick Up, please contact Leon Valley
Public Works at (210) 681-1232.

Leon Valley Mobile Integrated
 Healthcare (MIH) Program
The Leon Valley Fire Department is proud to announce our newest effort in community-based
personalized health care! Our Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) program, to be implemented in
January of 2021, represents one of the most progressive evolutions in the delivery of community
health and wellness care. A Certified EMS Technician, through the use of a specialized vehicle,
will use non-emergency resources to assist citizens at their homes, instead of a hospital setting,
where appropriate.
The intent of the program is to provide patient-centered healthcare to address all needs of an
individual. The MIH Paramedic will provide assessment and preventative healthcare education
that is tailored to a patient’s specific medical needs and will connect the individual with
appropriate social services. This allows the Paramedic to address needs pro-actively, in an effort
to reduce citizen dependence on emergency-based services.
The Leon Valley Fire Department MIH program will normally operate Monday through Friday, from
8:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding city holidays, but will include some weekends. All appointments will
be made subject to the availability of staff. The program is to be managed and staffed by Community
Paramedic Mr. Chris Willis, with oversight by the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief.
Some of the goals and responsibilities of the MIH program are:
 Helping residents that need more assistance after being recently discharged from a hospital
with getting into the home, picking up or ordering medications or medical devices, and providing
contact numbers for specialized care agencies.
 Assisting residents that may have fallen on several occasions with a safety/fall survey of the
home.
 Acting on reported concerns from friends/family members for a person that may have been
unwell recently, but have not called EMS or a doctor.
 Assist with the completion of a File of Life - a red, magnetic packet that contains important
medical information about the person. The “File of Life” also provides an area to list contact
information for doctors, family members, insurance information and any other special
circumstances that rescue personnel should know.
 Fostering relationships with households of families of residents that have special needs or
other medical conditions that require special considerations.
 Providing assistance to any citizen that need help in a non-emergency situation.

 Meet Your Community MIH Paramedic Mr. Chris Willis
 Mr. Willis was born in Kansas City, Missouri and moved to San Antonio in 1983. He
 has been married for 20 years and has two children. His daughter will be graduating
 from high school this year and his son is currently in the 8th grade. Mr. Willis
 completed his Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (B.A.A.S.) degree in Fire and
 EMS Administration in December of 2019 at Texas A & M University at San Antonio.
 He obtained his EMT-Basic certification in 1995 and continued his training to obtain
 the EMT-Paramedic certification in 2006. Previous to the City of Leon Valley, Mr.
 Willis worked for eight years as the Assistant Fire Chief for District 7 Fire Rescue.
 When asked why he came to work for Leon Valley, Mr. Willis states that he chose
 our city to be a part of helping change the way emergency medical services are
 delivered to citizens. He can be reached by email at MIH@leonvalleytexas.gov, by
 phone at (210) 684-3219, or by cell phone at (726) 600-5250.
