Background
Twice a year, each household receives a bill that, when paid, supports the shared services that benefits the entire neighborhood. The bills are mailed twice a year and timed to arrive at the homeowner's address by January 1st for the first half and by July 1st for the second half. An attempt is made to send a bill to absentee owners, but failure to receive a bill does not release the homeowner from his/her financial obligation to pay the fee nor does it alter the time frame to enjoy the early pay discount.

Water Shutoff
April 10th

Water shutoff will result in the case of non-payment. The annual dues invoice will be the only notice. A $150 fee for water restoration, plus arrears,
will be charged to any homeowner not submitting payment (or making alternate arrangements) on time.
Though these time frames are mandated by the bylaws, the Board is not insensitive to cases of hardship and is receptive to alternate payment arrangements. Any homeowner wishing to make alternate payments may submit their request in writing to the Board President or Treasurer. Any deviation from the agreed plan may result in water termination with an additional charge to restore the household water service.
