With the first snowfall of the year, we want to remind all homeowners to use only Magnesium Chloride-based ice melts.

 

Please do NOT use SALT (Sodium Chloride).  Salt-based ice melts are very damaging to the concrete and will cause the concrete to crack and lose its surface layer.

 

Earlier this summer, irrigation was installed around homes in the inner loop of Wharton's Bluff Parcel A.  Good news!  The contract for irrigating the outside loop at Wharton's Bluff Parcel A has been signed! The cost of this project is included in the current budget, and was, in fact, the reason the dues went up this year. There should be no additional dues increase for this project. Installation will begin as soon as the boring company can schedule us. Miss Utility will be out to flag and mark the community. We ask that you do not disturb these markers. Once this project is complete, Wharton's Bluff Parcel A will be completely irrigated!

 

The new pool swipe card system has been activated!  Make sure to bring this card with you when you go to and from the pool.  Also, make sure not to lose this card!  There is a replacement fee of $35 per card!

 

Also, some residents have had disciplinary actions imposed against them and neither they nor their guests are allowed access to the pool.  If they have been given a card, it will not work with the swipe system.  That said, please do not hold or open the gate for anyone except your own party while at the pool.  If you see anyone climb the fence, please try to take a picture of the person(s) and call 911 immediately!  Also, let us know using the information on the "Contact Us" page!

 

Thanks and have a great summer!

 

The inner loop irrigation (for homes around the pond) is nearly complete and has been turned on!  We do not have a schedule yet to distribute, but we will post and send it out when available!  In the meantime, please keep the irrigation system in mind before going to bed at night with regards to car windows and weather-sensitive items outdoors.

 

ATTN. HOMEOWNERS WITH EXISTING SYSTEMS:

You may have noticed that your yards were totally skipped with this project.  There was a misunderstanding with the installer regarding your yards!  You will be contacted in the near future regarding the community irrigation plans for you yard!

 

Irrigation of Whartons Bluff Parcel A will take place in two phases. Phase I has already started and will cover the interior of the development, including homes around the pond and the mailbox island in the NE corner. Phase II is still in negotiations and will cover the remainder of Parcel A, including homes along the river, Iron Branch Road, and the building to the right when you drive in.

 

Flags are already in place for Phase I and installation will begin the week of April 5. We ask that you do not disturb these flags or interfere with the work in any way. Phase I should be completed by early summer.

 

 

 

A new Photo Album with pictures from the snow storm has been created.  Feel free to add your own pictures as well!

 

NRG, the owners of the Indian River Power Plant have announced plans to shut down all but one of their generators by 2013, install additional environmental controls on the remaining unit, and end the use of the Indian River for cooling, eliminating concerns about the effects of this cooling on fish and wildlife.  Click here for the DNREC press release.  The NRG press release has been emailed, but is not available online yet.  A link will be posted when available.

 

By now, everyone has seen that dues have increased to cover a potential irrigation project in Whartons Bluff.  For an explanation of the reasoning behind this project, please read the letter which has been posted on the Meeting Minutes page.

 

A few homeowners have expressed an interest in matching the $500 Ryan Homes Whartons Bluff homeowner referral incentive and advertising it on this website. Good News!  This is now possible on the Homes for Sale/Rent page of the website!  Please visit the page and submit or modify a listing for details.

 

 

Final paving of the roads is now complete.  Some non-destructive road work still needs to be completed, including the installation of road signs and painting crosswalks and parking spaces.  Enjoy the new roads!
