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.
Water's Edge News |
A member of our community was recently bitten multiple times by another resident’s dog that had escaped from the owner’s back yard. It was not the first biting incident with the dog.
This is a classic reminder to dog owners that they need to take extra precautions and be vigilant to ensure their dog, however friendly or tame, can be unpredictable and need to be kept under control at all times, even while in a fenced yard.
Fairfax County code requires owners to keep their dogs under control at all times. Any dog found unrestricted in most cases will be impounded and the owner subject to paying shelter fees as well as being issued a court summons for violation of the County Code.
A dog that is found by the court to be a “dangerous dog”, that bites another animal or human may result in the owner being found guilty of a Class 1 or 2 misdemeanor.
Additionally, after a dog bites another person, the dog’s owner must immediately notify Fairfax County Animal Services or the Police of the biting. Then, at their own cost the dog must be (1) impounded in the County Animal Shelter for 10 days; or (2) boarded at a licensed veterinarian or veterinary hospital for 10 days; or (3) confined on the owner's premises in a strong enclosure that is isolated from all other animals and persons for 10 days.
So be safe and wise -- double check your dog’s leash and collar before every walk, ensure your yard does not offer your dog an avenue of escape and that your pet is under control at all times. Otherwise you may be getting a visit from the police, face expensive fines, or possibly lose your dog.

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.
