New Year’s Greetings from your Board!
In 2019, the following maintenance and improvements were made to our subdivision:
- Large downed tree branch removed from the front entrance and the damaged fence rails replaced
- Pet waste station installed at the entrance to the lake
- Lake path resealed
- Front entrance fence, highlight fence at lake, and street signs pressure washed and repaired
- Post cap lights at the front entrance and lake repaired/replaced
- Vandalism of the slate sitting area in the northwest corner of the lake repaired
- Sheriff’s Department contacted regarding vandalism, resulting in Widewater being placed on the special watch list
- Security cameras and signage installed upon recommendation of the Coweta County Sheriff’s Department
We have been advised by the County Transportation Department that General Lee, Jeb Stuart, and Blue Ridge are not on the 2020 street replacement schedule. We remain optimistic, however, that they will be on the 2021 replacement schedule.
The September mailing of unpaid dues notices resulted in the collection of over $3000.00. Many thanks to those of you who responded positively and brought your accounts up to date. This has allowed your Homeowners Association to remain on solid financial footing. As we move forward annual dues will be due at the end of February every year, and past due notices will be sent out every September. The 2020 dues statement is included in this newsletter.
Please help us to protect our property values, as well as being good neighbors, by adhering to both Coweta County Codes and Widewater Homeowners Association Covenants. In particular, please do not allow general clutter, old appliances, and building materials to accumulate on your property. Also, not blowing grass clippings into the street (they are mixing with pine needles and getting hung up on the corners of our storm sewers, thus impeding the flow of water during storms) and removing garbage cans from the street after your pickup day are simple things that will enhance the appearance of our subdivision. If the street in front of your property has a storm sewer, it would be a great help if you would keep the entrance to it clear of obstructions.
Remember, the appearance of your property has a direct impact on the property values of your neighbors. If you were not given a copy of our covenants at closing, you can obtain one at our website: widewaterhoa.com
Our Secretary, Jon Geilen and his family moved this past November. Thanks to Jon for his service to our subdivision. His departure has created an opening on the Board. If you are interested in serving your subdivision, please contact the Board through our website.
Please do not hesitate to contact—info on website—your Board with any of your questions or concerns.
Lastly, we would like to extend a hearty welcome to homeowners that moved into Widewater during 2019! Welcome to the neighborhood!
Best,
President – Larry Burns
Vice-President – John Cook
Treasurer – Jeff Dykes
Secretary – Open
