Green Duck Lane Drainage Project Completed
Drainage improvement work behind one side of Green Duck Lane which began in December and is now complete. The project was completed within of a couple weeks of the anticipated timeline, the delay being the result of the discovery of a large 20-foot long buried boulder. This required the rental of larger excavation equipment, removing the boulder 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 and sodding is also 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.
At the August 2020 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved updated ARC Guidelines for solar power collectors (panels), exterior electric vehicle (EV) charging stations or receptacles for charging an EV and to limit political signage.
For installations of either solar panels or an electric vehicle charging station or receptacles for charging an EV located on the exterior of your home, an ARC Applications needs to be submitted and approved before any work is started.
The updates were the result of new legislation or to clarify or expand existing guidelines.
The updated ARC Guidelines are effective immediately and are available on the Water’s Edge website under ARC Committee or Documents & Forms.
Please do not place large boxes that are not broken down and flattened next 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 hard-working 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.
