Green Duck Lane Drainage Project Continues
The work on the Green Duck Lane drainage project continues. Recent progress includes successfully removing a huge 20-foot section of buried rock that prevented drain lines to be connected to the area catch basin at the end of Green Duck Lane. The drain lines and area drains have now been installed, buried and connected to the drains behind houses and to the main drainage line connected to the drainage catch basin so that water can drain away from back yards and common area. This past week, repair on the catch basin was completed by pouring concrete to allow the last landscaping to be completed. Most of the area has been sodded and several replacement trees were planted.
 
The short delay in the project timeline was due to the discovery of the large buried rock which required rental of larger excavation equipment, removing it and several days to breakup the rock before it could be safely removed to the disposal area. This unforeseen buried rock added an additional $5,000 cost to the project. Project clean-up will be starting in the New Year and take about a week. After that, accessing back yards, moving trash cans, etc., can safely resume.
Once completed, we ask that impacted Green Duck residents once again store your trash and recycling totes in your rear yards. Please be careful walking until the sod has rooted.
If you have any concerns or questions, please email Anastasia at SCS.
The monthly Water’s Edge Board of Director's meeting and ARC meetings will continue in a virtual format using Zoom videoconferencing service. This change is for the safety and health of all participants. The Board and ARC will continue to meet monthly at their usual dates and times. The virtual format will continue until further notice.
Please be assured that the Board and SCS will continue to manage the HOA's operations and continue to work issues and projects as best possible under the Governor's Executive Order #55 Stay-At-Home Order. The ARC will continue to review Exterior Applications and assist homeowners in projects.
If as a homeowner you have a critical need to attend a Board meeting, please contact Anastasia Demos, our Community Manager at 703-631-2003 or via email at ademos@scs-management.com and let her know the specific issue or question you have. We will attempt to conference in the homeowner by providing a link to the meeting or address the issue offline.

Please do not place large boxes that are not broken down and flattened ext to your recycling bin for pick-up. Please break them down flat and place them in your recycling bin. If you have more boxes than can fit into your recycling tote, please flatten all of them for easier handling by our trash collectors.
Weekly trash (Mondays and Thursdays) and recycling (Mondays) will continue as normal. However, all special "bulk" pick-ups of large items, appliances, furniture, and other items has been discontinued by American Disposal Service, until further notice.
Please DO NOT place large items curbside. Please take them to the I-66 West Ox Recycling and Transfer Station across form Costco Plaza or contact a private trash hauler such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK to remove the items.
Additionally, lawn debris pick-ups during Covid may be delayed by a day or two. If scheduled lawn debris pick ups do not occur as scheduled, please leave it curbside for the next pick-up.
Please watch this web page for updates and additional information regarding Board meetings or other HOA news.
Good Neighbor Parking...
With more at home due to Covid, we ask all residents to please be a good neighbor and fully utilize all of their private parking spaces, including your garage and driveway BEFORE parking your vehicles in our limited number of guest parking spots.
Taking up a parking space when it's not absolutely necessary, can result in someone having to carry groceries much further in the rain, make seniors or disabled guests walk further to visit residents, or parents to carry infants further than needed. Plus, it's simply the neighborly thing to do.
We thank you for your neighborly cooperation.

Volunteer to Help |
|
The Association is looking for several volunteers for help out on a couple committees:
- Architectural Review (ARC)
- Landscaping and Grounds
- Social
- Website & Newsletter
The community needs a couple people for the ARC and the Landscaping and Grounds Committee to keep our community looking good and property values high. It's also tough to create a "sense of community" without getting to know your neighbors so a social Committee is needed to help people get out and meet their neighbors on a social basis, plan a few friendly events and get people involved. And lastly, the website and expanded newsletter won't create itself without a few volunteers for the Website and Newsletter Committee helping write and edit our resident communications.
If you would like to volunteer for a committee, and WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please use the Contact Us form and send your message directly to the specific committee. You may also complete the Committee Volunteer form and submit it directly to SCS. The form is located on the Forms & Documents page.
