2024 POOL HOURS 8am – 9pm

May 29th update: The new pool heater is installed! We saved roughly $1,000 by purchasing and installing it ourselves! The repair estimate for the very old one was $1,600 – far exceeding the depreciation value of around $400/year that we estimated. Fiscally it made since to replace it, as we had anticipated and discussed at a previous board meeting.

The pool internet account was deleted by ATT when a past board member (understandably) called to have their name removed from the account. We had to wait through the holiday weekend until the business internet dept. was open again. It is now scheduled to be installed on Friday, May 31. Once internet is on, we will be able to update the pool fobs for everyone. Thank you for your patience!




May 15 is the official opening day! Please remember not to let in anyone that you are not responsible for. If there is anything that needs addressed urgently, please contact a board member right away.

After inspecting the pool heater, it appears in decent shape except for the ignitor. This repair cost should be negligible compared to the replacement cost we were quoted – $3,843!

We had a water leak over the winter. The good news is we were able to repair it ourselves at a cost of $21.18! The valve in the ground box outside the poorhouse froze. It is used for bleeding all the water for winterization. It had been winterized correctly, but we had an exceptionally cold winter.

The new pool cameras have been purchased and will be installed shortly. There will be a vast improvement in picture quality! The board will be able to quickly and securely address issues, and easily pass along control to the succeeding boards.
