Important Community Updates
Dear Residents,
Please find community updates and news below.
Bulk Trash
June bulk trash can be placed out between Saturday, June 20th to 5:00 AM on Monday, June 22nd. Pickup may occur any day during your collection week. All items not collected by Friday, June 26th must be removed from visibility immediately.
We continue to have a major issue with residents placing their bulk trash out too early. This creates a nuisance, health hazard, and blight on the community. A main concern is bulk trash being placed in common areas or on the side of other residents’ homes. The Town of Gilbert offers special pickup options for owners who need bulk trash removed outside of the scheduled time frame. Call Customer Service at (480) 503-6400 to arrange for a special pick up. All special pickups must be scheduled and confirmed before they are set out for service.
Lost & Found
Did you know the office has a lost and found? If you find something throughout the community, please turn it into the office so we can attempt to locate its owner. If you should lose an item, please check with the office to see if it has been turned in.

Community Events
Considering the current health crisis the 4th of July event has been cancelled We would still like to see how you are celebrating the 4th of July with your family! Please send us your pictures of your 4th of July gathering so we can share on our website and community newsletter!
Violations
We are currently experiencing an excessive amount of violations for weeds throughout the community. The CC&R’s authorize the Association to correct these violations if the owner does not remedy the violation after going through the enforcement process. This is a step we would like to avoid, but the appearance and maintenance of our community is a high priority. Please help us maintain a beautiful community by doing your part. If the Association must correct the violation; costs associated for this will be assessed to the owner’s account. Please remember if you are a corner lot you are responsible for the side of your home as well. If you are not sure where your property lines end and what is your responsibility, please let me know and I can assist.

Community Pools Are Now Open!!
According to the CDC, there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas.
We are taking the following step to create a safer and cleaner swim environment.
• We have removed every other lounge chair to allow for social distancing and reduce capacity. • New signs for each gate into the pools has been ordered and will be instituted by Friday.
• New disinfectant wipe dispensers have been ordered to install at the pools as it recommended pool furniture be wiped off after each use.
Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, under all circumstances, the following precautions should be followed by people utilizing pools. To the extent possible, pool users may follow these guidelines:
- Stay home if sick.
- Protect yourself while visiting pools.
- Stay at least 6 feet away from other patrons.
- If you are at higher risk for severe illness, you should avoid visiting pools. People at higher risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Bring hand sanitizer and use it before and after going to the pool. When you get home, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Wipe down pool furniture when you are doing using it.
