POND
The aerator has been installed, and the Pond is looking lovely. We can report that the ducks had their convention earlier this Spring, and most recently the geese couple who are our regular residents have been blessed with a new brood :) Checkout the gallery photos below provided by one of our homeowners!
The fish have also been an overwhelming attraction, they are highly active and excited about the spring and summer season.
SPRING LANDSCAPING
The landscaping team has been doing housekeeping after the tough winter season. Overgrown and unsightly plants that could not be saved have been replaced with new, bold spots in the landscape have been filled in. Our grounds are part of the appeal of WP and they are looking lovely as ever, in their spring bloom splendor.
PLEASE CARE
There are no street sweepers in our community. Please be careful not to leave trash behind and help in keeping walkways, driveways, parking spaces and common areas clean and neat. Let’s all pitch in and keep our neighborhood looking beautiful – its condition reflects on all of us.
DOG OWNERS
When walking your dog in our community, remember that it must be leashed and cleanup immediately after your pet. Take along a baggie to pick up waste and dispose of it properly in the garbage. Owners who violate this law will incur a fine. To all homeowners – if you see anyone not picking up after their dog, please be sure to report this to the Board.
TRASH
Once again, a reminder to keep the corrals clean! All household garbage must be bagged and placed in the dumpster. Do not throw away pizza boxes with food leftovers, etc. Do not leave bags outside the dumpsters. NOTHING should be placed in the corral that does not fit in the dumpster. Co-mingle corral is only for recyclables, not for regular trash. Aside from maintaining a cleaner and more sanitary environment all this also helps prevent vermin infestation and racoons from ripping open garbage bags that are not in the dumpster.
POOL
The pool is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, barring any unforeseen circumstances. The filters have been replaced, a leak in the plumbing line located and repaired, and the pool management company is in the process of preparing the pool for opening. Due to the pandemic expect certain limitations to be in place for compliance with social distancing measures, like the previous season.
ROADS
Our roads are scheduled for maintenance within the next few months. Specifics to come once dates are set.
SPEED LIMIT AND PARKING
The speed limit within the community is a maximum of 15 mph. PLEASE OBEY! We request that the homeowners park their cars in dedicated spots only and keep the visitor parking free.
