Trash & Recycling Containers
Help Keep Water's Edge Looking Great
Since the HOA provided all residents with the new larger covered trash and recycling containers, trash from blowing winds and unsecured trash and recycling around our community has decreased dramatically. Yet on windy days, trash containers still get blown over causing tops to open and wind picks up items and scatters them all over the community.
So we ask that you always:
- Secure the lid of trash containers.
- Never overload containers so they can’t be closed.
- Break down all boxes and place them in your recycling container.
- Place Styrofoam packaging in your trash container, not next to your container.
- Please remember that trash and recycling may not be placed curbside before 6:00 pm the night before pick-up. On collection days, residents need to place their trash and recycling at the curb before 6:00 am.
Containers must be removed from the street and stored out of site by 8:00 pm on collection day. The storage of totes or bins in the front of a home, in your driveway or on the side of your home is not allowed.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Water’s Edge clean and beautiful.
Guest Parking...
We ask all residents to please be a good neighbor and fully utilize all of their private parking spaces - their garage and driveway first, before parking their cars in our limited number of guest parking spots.
Taking up a parking space with 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 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 Committee (ARC)
- Open Space Committee
- Social Committee
- Website & Newsletter Committee
The community needs a couple people for the ARC and the Open Space 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 the 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 new website and expanded newsletter won't create itself without a few volunteers for the Website and Communications 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.
